Worldwide, the remarkable diffusion of transparency and access to information laws poses a monumental challenge to the state's most enduringly undemocratic feature- excessive secrecy. Will recently established laws lead to an effective surrender of secrecy? Relatively little has been written about how strong access to public information laws emerge. The dissertation addresses this theoretical and empirical gap by articulating a theory on the political determinants of strong access to information laws, and drawing on Latin America as its test case.
