Abstract
The problem of political corruption continues to be a major concern on a global scale. In this work I specifically examine the dimension of political accountability and their new possibilities for improvements from the civil society in the networks era. By analysing the literature, I synthesise the main weaknesses in political accountability and I explain the new context of citizen monitoring created by social cybermovements. Taking into account the direct observation of several movements (in the 15-M context), I describe how the transformations in online repertoires of collective action are promoting new types of tactics in order to improve political accountability.

Summary
El problema de la corrupción política continúa liderando una de las principales preocupaciones ciudadanas a escala mundial. En este trabajo examino de forma específica la dimensión de la rendición de cuentas política y sus nuevas posibilidades de mejora desde la sociedad civil de la era de las redes. A través del análisis bibliográfico, sintetizo las principales deficiencias de la rendición de cuentas electoral y expongo el nuevo entorno de vigilancia y control ciudadano que han creado los cibermovimientos sociales. Desde la observación directa de casos de movimientos en el contexto del 15-M, describo cómo las transformaciones en los repertorios de acción colectiva online están promoviendo nuevos tipos de tácticas orientadas a la mejora de la rendición de cuentas
