State, governability, governance, accountabilityAbstract
Accountability is a fundamental value for any political system. Nowadays it is understood as a virtue and as a mechanism to achieve several important elements of governance. It is understood that citizens should have the right to know what actions have been taken in their name, as well as must have the means to take corrective actions when public officials act in an illegal, immoral or unfair manner. In addition, citizens should have the possibility of obtaining compensation or compensation when the State abuses their rights or does not receive the public benefits that correspond to them. In the present work, a review of the main approaches to the rendering of accounts that have been carried out in recent years is carried out, in order to make them discuss and analyze their potential within the toolbox of Latin American political systems.
