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. 606 $aOfficial secrets 606 $aGovernment information 606 $aSecurity classification (Government documents) 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aNational security 606 $aInternal security 606 $aGovernment accountability 606 $aGovernment - General$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aPolitical Institutions & Public Administration - General$2HILCC 615 0$aOfficial secrets 615 0$aGovernment information 615 0$aSecurity classification (Government documents) 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aInternal security 615 0$aGovernment accountability 615 7$aGovernment - General 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aPolitical Institutions & Public Administration - General 676 $a352.3/79 700 $aColaresi$b Michael P$01243161 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154327503321 996 $aDemocracy declassified$92883560 997 $aUNINA
