While the trend toward greater transparency will bring many
benefits, Kristin M. Lord argues that predictions that it will lead
inevitably to peace, understanding, and democracy are wrong. The
conventional view is of authoritarian governments losing control
over information thanks to technology, the media, and international
organizations, but there is a darker side, one in which some of the
same forces spread hatred, conflict, and lies. In this book, Lord
discusses the complex implications of growing transparency, paying
particular attention to the circumstances under which
transparency's effects are negative. Case studies of the 1994
genocide in Rwanda and the government of Singapore's successful
control of information are included.
