The Illusion of Accountability: Transparency and Representation in American Legislatures
Kirkland, Justin H. (University of Virginia)
This book assesses the causes and consequences of 'open meeting laws,' which require public access to proceedings in state legislatures. While some may assume such laws increase accountability, the book consistently finds that open meetings do not influence legislators' behavior or citizens' capacity to alter that behavior.
