| Description: |
This volume examines the practical and theoretical justification for freedom of information laws, particularly the US Federal Freedom of Information Act. It also considers objections to these laws and explores topics raised by the adoption of freedom of information principles outside of the US. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume contains articles examining freedom of information statutes, including those protecting government employees who expose official misconduct. Using United States laws as examples, the articles explore the relationship of these laws to administrative and constitutional theory in the United States. In addition, they demonstrate how varying conceptions of information illuminate the controversies in the application of these laws to the revolution in the electronic storage and retrieval of information. The articles allow the reader to speculate how the connection of these laws to liberal democratic theory explains their recent adoption in several countries and their international application. |
