Less is known, however, about what explains these observed variations. Drawing on accountability and reputation-concerned literatures, this article argues that a reputation-based perspective on accountability offers an underlying logic that explains how account-giving actors and account-holding ...

Representative bureaucracy theory and research provide a growing body of empirical evidence that it does. This article examines some of the rich scholarly work that has been generated on representative bureaucracy and its implications for practice. A significant aspect of recent research focuses on the notion of symbolic represe...
