520 1 $a"Freedom of information is a broad-ranging concept, covering both free access of information and free expression. Perhaps the most fundamental freedom, in the sense that all the others hinge upon it, is open government, which is only possible within a democracy, and usually goes hand-in-hand with freedom of information legislation." "This topical, controversial and lively collection of papers considers freedom of information issues in those states currently in the nebulous phase of changing to a democratic form of government from a non-democratic one. Drawn from the recent IGLA Conference of the same name. The papers look at a wide range of topics including writers and governments, the abuse of human rights, democracy and Islam, freedom of information in South Africa, and libraries and access to information." "With an impressive line-up of contributors the articles explore the implications for democracy in the world and the future of the concept of freedom of information. The papers are divided into three broad geographical areas: the Far East; the ex-Soviet Union and Eastern Europe; and Africa, but the subject is universal."--BOOK JACKET.
