Abstract

In the book, the relationally wrongful nature of political corruption is taken to be the basis for a positive account of an interactively just institutional system, centered on an ideal of office accountability, as the opposite of political corruption. In this contribution, the duty of office accountability will be discussed in relation to the democratic quality of institutions.
