Resumo

This paper seeks to identify some of the most important drivers of Portuguese local government transparency in their activities over time. Recent literature on good governance has repeatedly identified transparency as central to promoting accountability, preventing corruption and mismanagement, and stimulating greater civic engagement. As local government is the main provider of many primary services to the population, evaluating its transparency is especially relevant given that misconduct or maladministration will have a strong impact on the population’s well-being. Given increased diffusion of European good governance norms and practices, we believe the Portuguese case to be relevant across the EU.
