Note: [English Title] Not available [English Abstract] Although whether academic, politician, government offıcial or private entrepreneur, everybody stressed transparency frequently, the concept has not been defined clearly yet. Since the term has been used in social, political, economic, military and fiscal/financial contexts, it is difficult to make a generally accepted definition of transparency. Nevertheless, ensuring economic, social, political or any other kind of effıciency is not possible without reliable/complete information. Neo-Classical and Neo-Liberal econonıic and social policies can be shown as the main source of problems stemming from the lack of transparency especially in developing countries. This approach, which favoures the market(s) rather excessively and degraded the state in many aspects as if it is a malicious agent, has found strong adherents among the supporters of globalization. Thus, national and social values has been depreciated to a considerable extent on the one hand and on the other, many of the services mainly supplied by the public agencies has been largely or completely transferred to private sector. This study attempts to bring an explanation to the paradox between emphisizing the importance of information and transparency, in line with globalization, stressing the concept in lighter aspects or in words only, particularly in developing countries. Hence, it seems that the concept of transparency that has been in fashion for at least two decades has served mostly -and in some cases perhaps exclusively- the interests of powerful and organized people and has made their life better. [English Keywords] effıciency, information, transparency
