Abstract: With more than 65 million people forcibly displaced in 2017, accountability has received increased attention in international humanitarian action. Efforts to enhance humanitarian accountability have historically focused on formal, technocratic processes. Scholars in other disciplines have explored non-formal forms of accountability including socializing accountability, which refers to interpersonal processes through which interdependent individuals hold each other to account. Yet little empirical data on socializing accountability exists in the humanitarian context.
