MIS
The free access of citizens to public documents. It is argued by its supporters that the 'right to know' is a democratic right. People in possession of this right are in a much better position to participate in democratic debate. Governments with a monopoly of information are at an unfair advantage ('freedom of information', The Blackwell Dictionary of Political Science. Accessed on 06 March 2003 at www.xreferplus.com/entry/725226).
