Vertical Accountability in Asia:
Country Cases (Final Report Ⅰ & Ⅱ)
|
|
|
Active citizen engagement in democratic processes—through elections, political parties, media, and civil society—is crucial for holding governments accountable. As part of the Asia Democracy Research Network (ADRN) project, the East Asia Institute (EAI) released a series of working papers analyzing vertical accountability in eight Asian countries. These studies examine gaps between accountability institutions and their practical implementation, while proposing reforms for the future. The researchers highlight the importance of safeguarding the independence of electoral bodies and political parties, as well as fostering civil society activities to counter authoritarian tendencies.
