Accountability and Expertise in Public Sector Risk Management: A Case Study presents the following source proposition: The paper shows the relevance of risk management as an accountability tool, extended by means of disclosure to the scrutiny of distant others. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Automatic adjustment mechanisms trade democratic input for responsiveness: by removing policy changes from the legislative agenda they limit opportunities for public debate and scrutiny, which raises accountability and transparency concerns. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
