accountability mechanisms under these conditions would require some means
of disaggregating responsibilities between relevant decision makers and also,
where necessary, means of co-ordinating those decision making processes
that can interact in affecting workers’ and producers’ well-being. The current
plurality of unaccountable power gives rise to a problem I refer to as
‘structural disempowerment’, in which marginalised workers and producers
find themselves unable to advance processes of empowerment either via
autonomous control over requisite resources and opportunities or via their
ability to make claims on external decision makers to accept a share of the
responsibility for promoting their well-being.
