Keeping Public Officials Accountable through Dialogue: Resolving the Accountability Paradox.

Roberts, Nancy C.

Public Administration Review, v62 n6 p658-69 Nov-Dec 2002

Discusses Harmon's Accountability Paradox in relation to the accountability of public officials. Promotes the use of dialogue because its advantage outweighs its cost as a mechanism of accountability when officials confront problems that defy definition and solution and when traditional solution methods have failed.
