Transparency by Christopher Hood

Transparency by Christopher Hood

This is a critical look at the now pervasive idea of achieving better governance through greater openness to outside scrutiny. It shows that that transparency can conflict with other 'good governance' values, and that measures to promote it often lead to a tighter control of information.

..admirably argued, intellectually stimulating. * Alan Alexander, Scottish Affairs *

Christopher Hood is Gladstone Professor of Government at Oxford University.

David Heald is Professor of Financial Management at the University of Sheffield.
