Transparency is increasingly the subject of scrutiny and controversy in the social sciences (Florini, 2007; Graham, 2002; Gupta, 2008; Langley, 2001; Mol, 2008). The concept is linked to the most politically charged debates of our times, relating to due process and good governance, human rights, global security, and the need for oversight of markets in an era of unfettered globalization (Grigorescu, 2007; Lord, 2006; Roberts, 2004). In this chapter, we analyze the rise and effects of what we posit to be a ‘transparency turn’ in international environmental politics (IEP) as well.1 A call for transparency increasingly informs actor expectations in a diverse array of environmental issue areas. Both state and non-state actors embrace transparency as a necessary feature of decision-making and/or regulatory action to address transboundary environmental problems. Diverse actors are championing transparency as a means to enhance efficiency, accountability, and/or effectiveness of international environmental policy outcomes. Furthermore, a wide range of governance modalities (informal, formal, voluntary, mandatory) call for disclosure, suggesting a malleability between transparency norms and diverse institutional forms of environmental governance that deserves more sustained theoretical and empirical attention.
