情報公開와 判例의 動向

초록

Many of professors and lawyers had emphasized the need for an informed citizenry in Korea and Japan, after the most powerful twentieth-century argument for constitutional right to know had come from western nations. The existence of such a constitutional right to know about doings of government has long been in dispute. But during 1996-1999, the Freedom of Information Act was established in Korea and Japan. This study reviews the cases relating to Freedom of Information Act in Korea and Japan. Since the enactment of FOIA, we can realize increased awareness of the usefulness of the FOIA by interest groups, individuals, and businesses.(주제어) 알권리, 정보공개, 정보공개법, 부분공개, 업무추진비
