Many policy-makers complain about the leaking of confidential information and regard leaks as an important threat to the integrity of government. In this article, we attempt to offer a classification and framework for the phenomenon of political and administrative leaks. The emphasis is on leaking information as an instrument in bureau-political strife. Attention is also paid to developments in Dutch political and administrative relationships that could explain the increase in the number of leaks. In the final sections, we investigate what this analysis may have to offer to a normative debate about the integrity of government"
