Quote:In the same interview, he was right in emphasizing that the three components of political modernization were the creation of an effective state that could enforce rules, the rule of law that binds the sovereign, and accountability. Indeed, these are the very traits of political modernization that many Asian states are aspiring to achieve.
How should we understand the meaning of
accountability in this context?
I consider this to be a poorly written passage--it is awkward. Accountability means, in this case, a politically sovereign entity (a nation, for example) which will take responsibility for the consequences of its policies and actions.
@Setanta,
rumours to the effect that i put the o in account are no more than scurrilous slander unless it is written
Stumble It!
