"Government Secrecy" presents the best that has been thought and
written on the subject, including history and philosophy, theory
and practice, justification and critique. Through readings, which
range from Georg Simmel on secrecy and Max Weber on bureaucracy and
secret-keeping, to post-9/11 concerns regarding freedom of
information and presidential secrecy, it enables readers to explore
the issues and questions that surround the government's right to
keep necessary secrets--or not.
This collection, and the diverse perspectives it represents,
will engage students and other interested parties in a discussion
of the benefits--and dangers--of government secrecy. The collection
is designed to generate questions regarding historical accuracy of
government information, information ethics, professional
neutrality, ownership of information, public right to information,
national security, and transparency. The essays explore the
criteria and conditions for government secret-keeping, as well as
contributing to public and academic discussion of the role of
secrets in democracies.
