DESCRIPTION:<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>A wicked leak of state secrets? Tr
 ansparency\, power and the diplomatic cables</strong><br /> <br /> The W
 ikileaks revelations have not just been in the news for the past months\
 , they have been the news. Since the latest dump of information from the
  US diplomatic cables to select media organisations\, Julian Assange has
  been the subject of harassment from state officials as well as glorific
 ation from his supporters. The consequent trading of conspiracy theories
  from both sides has not been particularly edifying. But beyond the char
 acter of Assange and the Wikileaks organisation\, what is the meaning of
  the Wikileaks phenomenon? What has been the impact of the revelations o
 n international affairs &ndash\; and are they &lsquo\;revelatory&rsquo\;
  at all? What degree of privacy should states have in pursuing their int
 erests? Few would argue that more information is a bad thing per se\, bu
 t what do we make of the demand for transparency and the free flow of in
 formation in all institutional affairs? Ultimately\, what does the Wikil
 eaks controversy reveal about the workings of power and how we view it t
 oday?</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Dr
