Transparency in Global Change examines the quest for information
exchange in an increasingly international, open society. Recent
transformations in governments and cultures have brought about a
surge in the pursuit of knowledge in areas of law, trade,
professions, investment, education, and medical practice--among
others. Technological advancements in communications, led by the
United States, and public access to information fuel the phenomenon
of transparency. This rise in transparency parallels a diminution
of secrecy--though, as Burkart and Leslie Holzner point out,
secrecy continues to exist on many levels. Based on current events
and historical references in literature and the social sciences,
"Transparency in Global Change" focuses on the turning points of
information cultures, such as scandals, that lead to pressure for
transparency. Moreover, the Holzners illuminate byproducts of
transparency--debate, insight, and impetus for change, as
transparency exposes the moral corruptions of dictatorship, empire,
and inequity.
