"In the wake of controversial disclosures of classified government information by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, questions about secrecy and the legitimacy of political institutions is rarely far from the headlines. Furthermore, state secrecy persists both in the foreign and domestic policy of democratic states, in the form of classified intelligence programs, espionage, secret military operations, diplomatic discretion, closed-door political bargaining, and bureaucratic opacity. This book explores important philosophical questions and issues surrounding democratic secrecy, above all whether the state's claim to restrict access to information can be justified. Dorota Mokrosinka examines the democratic status of secret uses of political power, arguing that secrecy is in fact a fundamental form of democratic governance, rather than an exception, and that secrecy protects the integrity of the democratic decision-making process. Examples such as the Manhattan Project, the Iraq war, collaboration between international secret services, secret voting and the Wiki-Leaks and Snowden disclosures are used throughout the book. State Secrecy and Democracy: A Philosophical Inquiry is essential reading for those in political philosophy, ethics, politics, international relations and security studies and law"--

This document, a curriculum guide, grew out of a symposium on the role of secrecy in U.S. foreign policy. The curriculum examines ways in which citizens get information about the government and how government secrecy influences that information. Students analyze covert U.S. involvement in such places as Iran, Guatemala, and Cuba, and consider the ramifications of the secret methods the government has used to further U.S. goals. Following an introduction, the guide offers units on: (1) "Getting Started"; (2) "Rights and Responsibilities"; (3) "Secrecy and Covert Action in Recent Years"; (4) "The Growth of the National Security State"; (5) "Interference with Foreign Governments"; (6) "Secrecy and National Security"; (7) "Checks and Balances"; and (8) "The Limits of Covert Action." The document also includes a timeline, an indication of suggested grade levels for readings, a glossary, and a bibliography. Many of the individual readings present portions of primary source materials for student consideration. Contains 57 references. (SG)

From Dick Cheney's man-sized safe to the National Security Agency's massive intelligence gathering, secrecy has too often captured the American government's modus operandi better than the ideals of the Constitution. In this important new book, Frederick A.O. Schwarz Jr., who was chief counsel to the U.S. Church Committee on Intelligence uses examples ranging from the dropping of the first atomic bomb and the Cuban Missile Crisis to Iran Contra and 9/11 to illuminate this central question: how much secrecy does good governance require?

“A timely and provocative book exploring the origins of the national security state and the urgent challenge of reining it in” (The Washington Post). From Dick Cheney’s man-sized safe to the National Security Agency’s massive intelligence gathering, secrecy has too often captured the American government’s modus operandi better than the ideals of the Constitution. In this important book, Frederick A.O. Schwarz Jr., who was chief counsel to the US Church Committee on Intelligence—which uncovered the FBI’s effort to push Martin Luther King Jr. to commit suicide; the CIA’s enlistment of the Mafia to try to kill Fidel Castro; and the NSA’s thirty-year program to get copies of all telegrams leaving the United States—uses examples ranging from the dropping of the first atomic bomb and the Cuban Missile Crisis to Iran–Contra and 9/11 to illuminate this central question: How much secrecy does good governance require? Schwarz argues that while some control of information is necessary, governments tend to fall prey to a culture of secrecy that is ultimately not just hazardous to democracy but antithetical to it. This history provides the essential context to recent cases from Chelsea Manning to Edward Snowden. Democracy in the Dark is a natural companion to Schwarz’s Unchecked and Unbalanced, cowritten with Aziz Huq, which plumbed the power of the executive branch—a power that often depends on and derives from the use of secrecy. “[An] important new book . . . Carefully researched, engagingly written stories of government secrecy gone amiss.” —The American Prospect
