Zwischen Agora und Arkanum: die Innenministerkonferenz als Gegenstand des Informationsrechts Buchkatalog

The Conference of the interior ministers (Innenministerkonferenz, IMK) serves as an important platform for intra-federal dialogue in Germany. Recently, the political call for more state transparency has also reached the driving force of cooperative federalism: the IMK is confronted with claims to release information to parliaments, journalists and the general public that the conference has declared confidential. In his book, Prof. Dr. Mario Martini (University Speyer) traces the exact borderline between the public's interest in information and protected spaces in which authorities can collaborate and enter into an informal exchange.
