Socio-legal Studies Discussion Group Trinity Term Seminars
Developing a Syntax of Accountability

Speaker: Frances Foster-Thorpe, Centre for Socio-Legal Studies

Venue: Manor Road Social Sciences Building Seminar Room E

My DPhil project aims to develop a new analytical framework for a dimension of systems of accountability that has been overlooked in the scholarship: the interaction between different types of public accountability where multiple types operate in the same regulatory context. In my MSt, I developed three ideal-types of interaction - complementary, discordant and substitutable - and identified features of the regulatory context that may shape which interaction emerges. In this presentation, I will outline my research design for the case study research I intend to undertake later this year and seek feedback on that design.
