In the United States, these targeted transparency policies include financial securities disclosures, nutritional labels, school report cards, automobile rollover rankings, and sexual offender registries. They constitute a light-handed approach to governance that empowers citizens. However, as Full Disclosure shows these policies are frequently ineffective or counterproductive. Based on a comparative analysis of eighteen major policies, the authors suggest that transparency policies often produce information that is incomplete, incomprehensible, or irrelevant to the consumers, investors, workers, and community residents who could benefit from them. Sometimes transparency fails because those who are threatened by it form political coalitions to limit or distort information. To be successful, transparency policies must place the needs of ordinary citizens at centre stage and produce information that informs their everyday choices. 606 $aGovernment information$xAccess control$zUnited States 606 $aTransparency (Ethics) in government$zUnited States 606 $aDisclosure of information$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aDisclosure of information$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aGovernment information$xAccess control 615 0$aTransparency (Ethics) in government 615 0$aDisclosure of information$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDisclosure of information$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a352.3/8 700 $aFung$b Archon$f1968-$01669914 701 $aGraham$b Mary$f1944-$01074260 701 $aWeil$b David$f1961-$0872518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819699803321 996 $aFull disclosure$94187905 997 $aUNINA
