Democracia em Bobbio e a aplicação da Lei de Acesso à Informação no Comando da Aeronáutica

Abstract

The Access to Information Law (AIL), in force since 2012, brings several instruments to regulate public transparency within the federal government. Thus, this essay aims to verify the impacts of AIL on the classification and disqualification of the confidential information of the Aeronautical Command (COMAER) in the period between January 2014 and May 2019. In order to understand the dichotomy between transparency and state secrecy, he presented Norberto Bobbio's thinking about democracy. The permanent action of the state intelligence agencies was emphasized to understand the importance of secrecy and protection of information. A number of democracies around the world deal with the most appropriate way to meet the aspirations of their society and the balance of the preservation of secrecy, as in the American example. In Brazil, among the several established rules, one observes the control exerted by means of the restriction of authorities with competence to classify classified information. Thus, through the data processed and presented, COMAER, in compliance with IAL regulations, resulted in a reduction in the total amount of information classified in degree of secrecy in the period determined as the object of this study.
