AI-generated Abstract

This paper explores the challenges and dilemmas of access to information from a democratic governance perspective, focusing on the surge of Freedom of Information (FOI) laws worldwide, particularly in the context of new democracies. It highlights issues such as the opacity in public affairs, the inadequate dissemination of information, and the complexities surrounding the balance between transparency and personal data protection. The paper argues for the necessity of effective implementation of FOI laws supported by public policy, awareness campaigns, and the creation of a culture of transparency among both governments and citizens.
