Abstract

The purpose of this entry is to explore the long-standing controversy surrounding deception, secrecy, and ethical transgression, which often make up covert research. This is done in a threefold manner. After some reflections on what is meant by covert research, the covert diaspora is explored chronologically. Finally, the conclusion considers the potential revival of this position.
