| Summary: | This essay discusses engagement against state secrecy and engagement for
secrecy, free from interference. By exploring divisions introduced by state
secrecy (through exclusion, subjection and oppression), it identifies the
distortions of equal participation in political communities. The author
introduces the notion of pata-politics in order to describe the false
relation to the secrecy effect. Furthermore, the text examines key issues of
today’s intelligence studies (such as democratic intelligence oversight and
the balance of powers doctrine), with special emphasis on the possible limits
of a liberal approach. Additionally, the author elaborates a metacritique of
the framework in which the private sphere is one-sidedly described as a
victim of wrong interference by state institutions. |
