	Radical transparency - Definition, explanation
		Radical transparency is a management method where nearly all decision making is carried out publicly.
		Moreover, given the logical and linguistic complexity of typical national laws, public participation is difficult despite the radical transparency at the formal parliamentary level.
		The potential of radical transparency to allow corrections and improvements to decision making is likely to be higher when the decision making method is either a consensus decision making method or a democratic decision making method.

	Transparency (humanities) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transparent rules and procedures are generally instituted as a means of holding public officials accountable and fighting corruption.
		When government meetings are open to the press and the public, when budgets and financial statements may be reviewed by anyone, when laws, rules and decisions are open to discussion, they are seen as transparent and there is less opportunity for the authorities to abuse the system in their own interest.
		Transparency in the EU The drafting of the EU Constitution allowed for an opportunity to make the Council of the European Union more transparent.

		However, the initial texts of proposed laws and the discussions and negociations regarding them generally occur in parliamentary commissions, which are rarely transparent, and among political parties, which are very rarely transparent.
		In other words, radical transparency is necessary, but not sufficient, for public participation in political decisions.
		It requires decision making to be transparent right from the beginning of the decision making process, while accountability is a process of verifying the quality of decisions or actions after they have been taken.

		A partial form of radical transparency has existed in many national parliament s since the beginning of the modern parliamentary system, e.g.
		Transparency International - Malaysian Chapter The Kuala Lumpur Society for Transparency and Integrity, Malaysian Chapter of international anti-corruption NGO to promote transparency and accountability, good governance and national integrity systems.
		Transparency International - Bangladesh The Bangladesh chapter of Transparency International non-governmental organization committed to countering corruption in international business transactions and, through its national chapters, to curbing corruption at the national level.

	Transparency In Government
		Transparency is a good thing -- especially in government, for the government has the most potential for going awry given their monopoly on force and the ease with which they use and abuse that force.
		Transparency in organization is the state of clarity, when it is clear whom in that organization is doing what and for what reasons.
		So, in the spirit of increased transparency so that we as voters and watchdogs of government can better understand what is going on, I propose that the IRS be abolished and their annual budget of $9.4 billion be used to hire 350,000 professional government thugs with Billy clubs; we'll call them "tax collectors".

		In this case, the thermoplastic resin (A), the radical polymerizable compound (B), the plasticizer (C) and the photo-polymerization initiator (D) are dissolved in a solvent, and a solution thus obtained is coated on a substrate.
		As a result, a structure wherein the polymer of the radical polymerizable compound (B) having a high refractive index is accumulated in the portion of a large light amount, the thermoplastic resin (A) having a low refractive index is accumulated in the portion of a small light amount is formed.
		Since the thermoplastic resin (A) and the radical polymerizable compound (B) are present in the form of the polymer having the sufficient high molecular weight by only one exposure to light, it is free of the problem in that the record becomes unclear due to the re-diffusion of them.

	Coordinatorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NGO side of the spectrum tends to accept coordinatorism, with salaried coordinators who work on behalf of others rather than transferring their skills; while the more radical, anarchist side of the spectrum tends to reject any form of coordinatorism, at least in its rhetoric ; most groups lie somewhere in between.
		Practical methods for minimising coordinatorism include consensus decision making, radical transparency, rotation of facilitation roles and day-to-day work roles among individuals, and giving the least experienced in coordination skills full encouragement and time to learn these skills.
		The radical economist Robin Hahnel and a co-founder of Z-Magazine, Michael Albert, have recently developed a new economic system which rejects both coordinatism and capitalism, and tries to give every person as much say in decisions as they are affected by them.

	Transnational Democracy : Theories and Prospects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		While the principles of transparency and accountability are necessary to the achievement of transnational democracy without mechanisms for ensuring more effective representation of the world's peoples in the political process they remain decidedly insufficient for its substantive realization.
		In her overview of political cosmopolitanism Hutchings identifies radical democratic pluralism as a project which eschews the reformism of liberal-internationalism in favour of direct forms of democracy and self-governance alongside the creation of alternative structures of governance from the global through local levels (Hutchings 1999,p166ff).
		It is distinguished from liberal-internationalism by its radical agenda and a scepticism towards the primacy of state-centric and procedural notions of democracy.

	CHX Report to the Advisory Committee
		A transparent market is a market in which investors and their brokers have information about the current buying and selling interest in a security as well as information about the price and size of recent transactions.
		The benefits of transparency were illustrated in dramatic fashion when the Commission instituted new order-handling rules in January 1997.
		For example, between 1995 and 1998 there was a 25 percent increase in the percentage of U.S. families with direct stock ownership (from 15.3 percent to 19.2 percent) and a 38 percent increase in the percentage of families with direct ownership of mutual funds (from 12 percent to 16.5 percent).

	Radical Philosophy - Articles - September/October 1996
		But even in Continental traditions like existential phenomenology and poststructuralism, where language is viewed as constitutive of thought and translating can more readily be seen as determining the domestic significance of the foreign text, philosophical argument and speculation give only passing acknowledgement to their reliance on translations.
		Philosophy has long engaged in the creation of concepts by interpreting domestic versions of foreign texts, but for the most part these versions have been taken as transparent, and the concepts unmediated by the domestic language and culture that is their medium.
		In such cases, translations are presumably adjusted - brought into a more adequate relation to the essential meaning of the foreign text - whereas the adequacy that is in fact established reverts to a domestic standard, usually a stylistic canon or a competing interpretation applied implicitly by the critic.

	Stabilization of Gamma-Irradiated Polycarbonate (MPB archive, Mar 97)
		In similar experiments with di-p-tolyl carbonate, the ratio of the number of phenoxy-phenoxy to phenyl-phenoxy radical pairs was reported to be approximately 3:1, whereas the ratio of the number of radicals in radical pairs to the number of isolated radicals was 5.7:1.
		An additional point of interest is that the formation of PC radical anions and their subsequent dissociation process during photobleaching have not been well established in comparison with the cases of dimethyl carbonate.
		The high stability of the phenoxy radical is also likely to be responsible for the reaction paths 3 and 7, which explains why the reported yield of CO from gamma-irradiated PC is larger than that of CO Radiolysis Mechanisms of Esters.

	Transparency (humanities)
		The basic meaning of the word transparency is in the physical sciences — specifically, in optics : a physical object is transparent if one can see through it; see transparency (optics).
		In sociology, politics, ethics, law, economics, business, management, etc., transparency is the opposite of privacy; an activity is transparent if all information about it is freely available.
		Thus when courts of law admit the public, when fluctuating prices in financial markets are published in newspapers, those processes are transparent; when military authorities classify their plans as secret, transparency is absent.

	Deliberative Democracy
		In its most radical form, revolutionary socialists argued that public ownership of the principle means of production combined with centralized state planning offered the best hope for a just, humane and egalitarian society.
		The experiments are democratic in the radical sense that they rely upon the participation and capacities of ordinary people.
		Thus far, we have sketched the outlines of a model of radical democracy that aims to solve practical public problems through deliberative action, laid out the practical and ethical advantages of institutions built along that model, and offered brief sketches of real-world examples that embody to as greater or lesser extent these principles.

	Bishops Teaching Children: Chapter 6
		This 'transparency' is an essential component of the Bishops Teaching Children method, and is fundamental to its expression of the sacramental character of the local church as 'teacher' of 'all.'
		In sum, 'privacy' ironically would have no choice but to allow the radical transparency of the Bishops Teaching Children method, as long as the local church and its local ordinary made it clear that each student's 'privacy' was being freely 'traded' by his family for the 'benefit' of participating in the diocese's religious education.
		This brief digression, in which the radical transparency of the Bishops Teaching Children method is shown to be able to satisfy the requirements of 'privacy,' is now over.

		Bonito, a small town of the Serra do Bodoquena, is at the center of a region considered as "Caribe of the Centre-West" due to the incredible blue color of its rivers and springs.
		Owing to the immense quantity of limestone on the ground, the water of these rivers passes through a real natural filter, where the impurities are deposited at the bottom of the riverbeds and the result is the absolute transparency of its water.
		Bonito is a region with plenty of caverns and waterfalls and presents countless attractions for travelers of all tastes and ages, the outstanding feature being Gruta do Lago Azul and diving into the transparent water of the rivers in the region.

		The lack of sufficient transparency in actions and procedures and the lack of full accountability hinders the achievement of the aforementioned general objectives and cause the corruption to increase.
		It should be borne in mind that the concept of corruption which is generally used to refer to the concepts of degeneration, favorism and bribery as well has recently been the common problem of the globalizing world as well as our country.

		I'm a big believer in corporate transparency as a means to increase trust and communication with customers.
		Since accuracy is a component of transparency then you should ask "How closely does the resource provided to customers mirror the reality of your business?" Letâs practice scoring this on the MSBuild Triage video we released.
		So, what we have now are the basic definitions of transparency and the beginnings of a tool for discussing the levels of and values in corporate transparency.

	NYPL, James Gillray
		Gillray presents his own dire report as a &#8220;transparency,”; a popular form of street art, in which a picture is illuminated from behind.
		Among Gillray’s imagined radical plots were: “Plundering the Bank”; “Assassinating the Parliament”; “Seizing the Crown”; “Establishing the French Government.” Figures probably representing Pitt and Dundas are partially hidden by the transparency, while the Whigs scurry away under cover of the dark.
		Gillray satirizes radical politician John Horne Tooke’s alliance with Fox’s Whig party by alluding to Horne Tooke’s 1788 essay, also called “Two Pairs of Portraits.” In this pamphlet he had extolled the virtues of William Pitt the Elder and the Younger, while he denounced Fox and his father, Lord Holland, as corrupt and unscrupulous.
