Transparency Transition in Public Administration

Summary/Abstract: In many countries, privacy in public administration has begun to be seen as one of the major problem areas since the 1980s.In a period when the individual and the society are in the forefront with the information society,the public administrations which are built on the culture of privacy and have a problematic appearance in terms of efficiency and democratic control, demands for transition in the direction of transparency are now expressed more strongly. Transparency, which is the basic component of good governance, has become a quality indicator of the public administration of a country. Transparency-based management practices enhance citizens' confidence in the public policy and state, and at the same time have the power to strengthen public accountability. Transparency, as a result of the positive outcomes that it possesses, is a priority target of transforming public administrations.In this context,our study examines the transition of transparency in public administration.First, the process of transition from privacy to transparency in public administration is considered. In this process, the right to information, which is the building block of transparent administration, has been examined separately and its role in the transparency process has been clarified.Later, the effects of the transparency policies on the public administration were focused. By analyzing the transparency limits and the changes that transparency laws and practices have brought about in public institutions,the results of transparency policies are revealed.
