Beskrivning

This book investigates the parliamentary negotiation of executive secrecy. Based on two case studies – intelligence agencies secrecy and Public Private Partnership secrecy – it argues that substantive justifications of secrecy focusing on necessity are highly contested. Still, there are inherent limits to the legitimation of executive secrecy.
