From the Imported Term “Accountability” to Democratic Public Control in Latin America

The trajectory of the term accountability’s adaptation in Latin America stems from three points. The first is the importation by academic communities and civil organizations that initially referred to the term directly in English. A significant share of this literature and these actors imported the term with little effort for “translation” – both of the concept itself and of its implications for Latin American political communities, whose features differed from the European and Anglo-Saxon regimes from which the main ideas were taken up.
