Beschreibung

Which SUVs are most likely to rollover? What cities have the unhealthiest drinking water? Which factories are the most dangerous polluters? What cereals are the most nutritious? In recent decades, governments have sought to provide answers to such critical questions through public disclosure to force manufacturers, water authorities, and others to improve their products and practices. Corporate financial disclosure, nutritional labels, and school report cards are examples of such targeted transparency policies. At best, they create a light-handed approach to governance that improves markets, enriches public discourse, and empowers citizens. But such policies are frequently ineffective or counterproductive. Based on an analysis of eighteen U.S. and international policies, Full Disclosure shows that information is often incomplete, incomprehensible, or irrelevant to consumers, investors, workers, and community residents. To be successful, transparency policies must be accurate, keep ahead of disclosers' efforts to find loopholes, and, above all, focus on the needs of ordinary citizens.

Zusammenfassung

Full Disclosure is the first analysis of national and international transparency policies that aim to reduce serious public risks and improve critical services. Targeted transparency policies include financial securities disclosures, car safety ratings, nutritional labels, school report cards, campaign finance disclosures, and toxic pollution disclosures. Individually, transparency policies can empower 'consumers' by giving them new facts to make informed choices and can encourage disclosing organizations to make safer products and provide better services. Collectively, they represent a new kind of mainstream information-age public policy.
