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.

Reviews for Freedom of Information: Local Government and Accountability

'Chapman and Hunt have continued with their analyses of open government and FOI. This present volume offers some thoughtful and worthy contributions'. Public Law 'Freedom of information (FoI) is still such a new phenomenon in the United Kingdom that this text is a very welcome contribution to our understanding of its impact... this is an excellent text, well written and edited, containing a range of strong facts and reflections on this relatively new (to the UK) legislation. It offers genuine insight into how the legislation is impacting on local government organisations.' Library Review
