Public accountability: reforms and resistance in social housing
研究了公共服务转为互助组织后问责关系的变化，以英国社会住房为例，揭示私人资本带来的民主型与非政府组织型问责之间的张力，并指出住房互助有沦为资本主义辩护的风险。
The paper illustrates and discusses the changing nature of public accountability relations in public services that are transferred to a mutual organization. The paper contributes to the literature that studies resistance to the neo-liberal restructuring process, highlighting civil society campaigns as important actors. A social housing case study in Britain is developed, combining a critical realist and dialogical influenced analysis. The case study identifies the role of private finance, illustrating tensions between democratic-styled and NGO-styled public accountability relations. A conclusion that housing mutuals are in danger of being apologia for private capitalism is established.
