Summary

This part reviews historical and current theoretical perspectives on transparency. The first chapter identifies the three historical traditions behind transparency, which have defined its key benefits and the mechanisms by which each operates.

The second chapter lists the costs involved and the unintended harms that have been attributed to increased transparency. We identify the principal costs that are an inevitable result of particular forms of transparency and the main negative consequences of increased transparency.
