This volume addresses the major questions surrounding a concept
that has become ubiquitous in the media and in civil society as
well as in political and economic discourses in recent years, and
which is demanded with increasing frequency: transparency. How can
society deal with increasing and often diverging demands and
expectations of transparency? What role can different political and
civil society actors play in processes of producing, or preventing,
transparency? Where are the limits of transparency and how are
these boundaries negotiated? What is the relationship of
transparency to processes of social change, as well as systems of
social surveillance and control? Engaging with transparency as an
interrelated product of law, politics, economics and culture, this
interdisciplinary volume explores the ambiguities and
contradictions, as well as the social and political dilemmas, that
the age of transparency has unleashed. As such it will appeal to
researchers across the social sciences and humanities with
interests in politics, history, sociology, civil society,
citizenship, public policy, criminology and law.
