This volume examines the practical and theoretical justification for freedom of information laws, particularly the United States Federal Freedom of Information Act, which gives any person access to documents and records of federal agencies. In this regard, the volume also considers objections to these laws and explores topics raised by the adoption of freedom of information principles outside the United States.

Reviews for Freedom of Information: Local Government and Accountability

'Local government has an immediate impact upon the lives of citizens, yet hitherto most attention on issues of transparency and openness has been directed towards central government. This clearly written, scholarly and accessible book fills a large gap in the literature and provides a welcome and timely contribution to an important area of concern.' John Greenaway, University of East Anglia, UK 'Hunt and Chapman should be commended for again bringing together experts to assess the impact of freedom of information on democratic systems of government. While focussing on British local government the book provides lessons for other systems including those in North America and elsewhere.' David L. Dillman, Abilene Christian University,Texas, USA
