Accountability and transparency in public institutions

How do we know what to expect from the government? If we don’t know, how does that influence our views on the legitimacy of democracy and affect our behaviour towards others? In this episode of Aspects of Democracy, Professor Elin Wihlborg talks about the importance of accountability and transparency in governance.

Elin is professor in political science with a broad background from welfare and democracy research in local and national contexts, as well as in international networks. She is currently researching fundamental values of digital society. Tune in to hear her thoughts on two key aspects of democracy!
