ACCESS TO INFORMATION IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION - LEGAL ANALYSIS

The book "Access to Information in Public Administration" is a detailed legal analysis that examines the right of access to public information as one of the fundamental human and civil rights. The author analyzes the implementation of this right and its impact on the political system. Access to information is presented as a tool to prevent pathologies and increase citizens' knowledge of the activities of public institutions.

• Prevention of pathologies: Access to public information as a control mechanism.
• Increase in citizens' knowledge: Better understanding of the activities of public institutions.
• Enforcement of rights: Enabling citizens to enforce their rights.
• Engagement in the public space: Increasing citizen participation in public life.
• Building democracy: Creating a strong civil society.
• Open government: Sharing knowledge with citizens.
• Openness and transparency: Basic paradigms of modern administration.

The author emphasizes that access to public information enables citizens to enforce their rights, which translates into greater engagement in the public space. Increased civic engagement and a better-informed society are crucial for building a strong democracy and a civil society. In the postmodern world, the concept of open science, culture, and government assumes that the state should share knowledge with citizens, using traditional and modern forms of communication.

Openness and transparency in public administration have become the main paradigms, indicating the direction of development of states and supranational structures. In an integrating Europe, it is particularly important to create mechanisms and procedures in which politicians, officials, and citizens are involved, enabling participation in the management of public affairs. The accessibility and transparency of the activities of state institutions form the basis for building social trust, satisfying the need for civic control over decisions and the management of public funds.
