This multidisciplinary volume offers an in-depth exploration of accountability in humanitarian action. It explores how three contemporary narratives of global governance - human rights based approaches/international law, new public management, and technology - intersect with different dimensions of UNHCR's accountability endeavor. Drawing on case studies in Afghanistan, Australia, Colombia, the EU, Mauretania, Morocco, Turkey, Uganda and UNHCR headquarters in Geneva, the volume considers the similarities, differences and overlaps between these accountability-strategies as they play out in UNHCR's global field of action.
