Democratic Accountability in Asia offers a systematic analysis of how institutional design translates into actual political performance across Asian democracies and hybrid regimes. Moving beyond formal rules, the book examines the gap between de jure accountability mechanisms and their de facto operation, highlighting the conditions under which checks and balances effectively constrain power--or instead erode. Drawing on comparative data and in-depth case studies, it links horizontal, vertical, and diagonal accountability to broader patterns of democratic quality, resilience, and backsliding. Essential for scholars and policymakers alike, this volume provides a nuanced framework for understanding accountability under conditions of polarization, institutional contestation, and rapid political change.
