Elite Accountability

Elite Accountability is a theoretical construct within the study of political elites that denotes the mechanisms and norms through which elite actors are held answerable for their decisions and actions by institutional, electoral, or societal forces, thereby distinguishing it from broader notions of governance or responsibility by emphasizing vertical and horizontal constraints on power.
