• Transparency is a multifaceted concept with a long history in discussion of governance and institutional design. Variations on the transparency theme include openness, surveillance, accountability, simplicity and notions of rule-governed, predictable governance processes which fulfill citizens' 'right to know' about government and policy making and acting as the 'key to better governance' by enhancing certain administrative values, such as integrity, fairness and efficiency. Margetts investigates the effect of widespread use of the Internet on transparency, outlining the Internet-based applications that seem to be drawing institutions towards greater transparency and examining the variant of transparency emerging.
