Sommario/riassunto

This title tackles an enduring question of particular current importance: How do democratic governments balance the need for foreign policy



secrecy with accountability to the public? This book presents the first evidence that national security oversight institutions, while imperfect, both constrain the executive from abuse and convince members of the public to be less sceptical of investments in security. Democratic foreign policy effectiveness depends not only on executive discretion to keep national security secrets, but also on effective retrospective oversight from outside the executive.
