Walters identifies the covert imaginary as both a limit on our ability to think politics differently and a ground to develop a richer understanding of power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eState Secrecy and Security offers readers a set of thinking tools to better understand the strange powers that hiding, revealing, lying, confessing, professing ignorance and many other operations of secrecy put in motion.
