| Popis: | In this article, we discuss some of the arguments for and against government communication about potential public policies.

Our basic argument here, however, is that an administration can communicate about potential policies in an ethical manner that also strengthens the democratic relationship between politicians and citizens by opening up the policy formulation process. |
