Abstract
Transparency has become one of the key concepts of contemporary politics. Yet, it is a newcomer to the political language both in the Anglo-American world and outside. Historically, states have differed with regard to their allocation of state information. At present, information access laws – often named „freedom of information acts“ after the US model – are being adopted internationally. In social scientific analysis, transparency is valued for its democracy-enhancing qualities. What often seem to be disregarded, though, are the potential contradictory terms that the notion of ‘transparency’ bears vis-à-vis national political cultures.
