Economic crises affect political accountability by exposing weaknesses in governance and prompting calls for greater transparency. During such crises, citizens often demand accountability from politicians regarding their decisions and management of public funds. For example, financial collapses can lead to scrutiny of government policies and prompt debates about austerity measures and social spending. As public discontent rises, political leaders may face pressures to implement reforms or be removed from office, reinforcing the link between economic challenges and demands for responsible governance and accountability.
