L'Open Government
negli Stati Uniti d'America tra il Freedom of Information Act e il bazar
Open Government in the United States of
America, between Freedom of Information Act and the "bazar"
Abstract: The paper
deals with the Open Government memoranda and their impact on the Freedom
of Information Act. From a synchronical point of view it analyzes the
double nature of the Open Government memoranda in the United States:
first, they represent an interpretative key through which the Freedom of
Information Act becomes more "open", and at the same time they acknowledge
that there is a new way to share information between the administration
and the citizens. The paper underlines the historical aspects of the
Freedom of Information Act, its amendments and how they have influenced
the Federal Information Policy through the years. It also briefly
describes the three memoranda adopted by the Obama Administration: their
effects on the activity of federal agencies and their impulse to platforms
such as Data.gov, USAspending.gov and Recovery.gov.
