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.Official secretsGovernment informationSecurity classification (Government documents)DemocracyNational securityInternal securityGovernment accountabilityGovernment - GeneralHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCPolitical Institutions & Public Administration - GeneralHILCCOfficial secretsGovernment informationSecurity classification (Government documents)DemocracyNational securityInternal securityGovernment accountabilityGovernment - GeneralLaw, Politics & GovernmentPolitical Institutions & Public Administration - General352.3/79Colaresi Michael P1243161PQKBBOOK9910154327503321Democracy declassified2883560UNINA
