The Governance of Cyberspace: Politics, Technology and Global Restructuring

The Governance of Cyberspace: Politics, Technology and Global Restructuring

by Brian D Loader (Editor)

Synopsis

Issues of surveillance, control and privacy in relation to the internet are coming to the fore as a result of state concern with security, crime and economic advantage. Through an exploration of emerging debates regarding the possible desirability, form and agencies responsible for the regulation of the internet and an analysis of issues of surveillance, control, rights and privacy, The Governance of Cyberspace develops contemporary theories and considers issues of access, equity and economic advancement.
The Governance of Cyberspace encourages a more informed discussion about the nature of the changes which the new information and communications technologies (ICTs) are heralding in and will be of considerable interest to all those who are concerned about the technological shaping of our political future.

Media Reviews
A fascinating and provocative volume which raises all the relevant questions relating to the awesome problem of social control in cyberspace. Impressively coherent in its argument, it tackles theory, the problem of boundaries and the question of surveillance.
