Absztrakt (kivonat)

Secrecy is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups who do not have the „need to know”, perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret. Secrecy is often controversial, depending on the content or nature of the secret, the group or people keeping the secret, and the motivation for secrecy. Secrecy by government entities is often decried as excessive or in promotion of poor operation; excessive revelation of information on individuals can conflict with virtues of privacy and confidentiality. It is often contrasted with social transparency. Governments often attempt to conceal information from other governments and the public. These state secrets can include weapon designs, military plans, diplomatic negotiation tactics, and secrets obtained illicitly from others („intelligence”). Most nations have some form of Official Secrets Act and classify material according to the level of protection needed (hence the term „classified information”). An individual needs a security clearance for access and other protection methods, such as keeping documents in a safe, are stipulated. In many countries, the reforms of government have included expanding the outsourcing of government tasks and functions to private businesses with the aim of improving efficiency and effectiveness in government administration. However, among the criticisms of these reforms is the claim that the pervasive use of „-confidence” (or secrecy) clauses in contracts between government and private providers further limits public accountability of governments and prevents proper public scrutiny of the performance and probity of the private companies. Concerns have been raised that 'commercial-in-confidence' is open to abuse because it can be deliberately used to hide corporate or government maladministration and even corruption. Excessive secrecy is often cited as a source of much human conflict. One may have to lie in order to hold a secret, which might lead to psychological repercussions.The alternative, declining to answer when asked something, may suggest the answer and may therefore not always be suitable for keeping a secret. Less secrecy or more publicity also gives an answer to the degree of democracy in a given country.
