Jantz, Bastian creator Jann, Werner text xu| 2013 continuing ng p.227-248. The article explores how recent changes in the governance of employment services in three European countries (Denmark, Germany and Norway) have influenced accountability relationships. The overall assumption in the growing literature about accountability is that the number of actors involved in accountability arrangements is rising, that accountability relationships are becoming more numerous and complex, and that these changes may lead to contradictory accountability relationships, and finally to ﾑmulti accountability disorderﾒ. The article tries to explore these assumptions by analysing the different actors involved and the information requested in the new governance arrangements in all three coun tries. It concludes that the considerable changes in organizational arrangements and more managerial information demanded and provided have led to more shared forms of accountability. Nevertheless, a clear development towards less political or administrative accountability could not be observed. - Reprodu Accountability Labour market International Review of Administrative Sciences 180718
