Summary/Abstract: The term “transparency” has firmly thrived in today’s language. Everyone knows it and many use it; yet, few have a very precise conception of its meaning. As a direct consequence of this ambiguity, politicians and institutions can easily enhance their reputation by associating themselves with the concept without much political cost. From a scholarly perspective however, the lack of precision in the uses of transparency is problematic, as it complicates significant discussion of the phenomenon and our expectations of it.
