Product Description

Review

"...it is an accessible investigation into how the Internet, the law and our society co-exist and how they can and should interact and develop together"                                     

"the book presents a clear, concise examination"                                                          

"...an excellent overview of developments and pitfalls"                                                 

"This is an excellent, broad-based introduction to the main issues surrounding cyber-constitutionalism"                                                                                                 

"The discussion of the main issues here is measured and very well researched...an excellent introduction to the increasingly complex area of policing the Internet"   

"...an essential, accessible handbook for anyone, student, law professional or interested party, seeking a critical discussion of the socio-legal situation surrounding the development of cyberspace and an examination of the amin policy issues"                  

Catherine Russell, Manchester Metropolitan University (Entertainment Law)

The book brings together some of the leading Information Technology lawyers and academics and this leads to it being an excellent, and readable, text. Any student studying IT Law should at least consider purchasing this textbook.

Student Law Journal, Hull University.



Product Description

Students and academics taking courses in IT law, computer law, Internet law, as well as courses in core law areas on which Internet law is increasingly impinging, e.g. criminal law, criminology and criminal justice, torts, civil liberties, intellectual property, and commercial law. Also, practitioners, and the general market. This book examines topical themes relating to the Internet and its relationship with law and policy in a social and political context. It is concerned with the law in action as much as black-letter law. Issues are covered under the broad headings of: the Internet and society, governance in a transnational environment, legal institutions and the law professions, and legal controversies in cyberspace.

4.0 out of 5 stars An 'academic' book. Very useful, highly recommended., 23 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I 'm a computer scientist, studying a postgraduate degree on communication studies, and in particular the social context of the Internet. I found this book very useful, especially when thinking about the implications that the Internet has on contemporary politics and law systems. It's highly academic, each chapter is bascially an essay covering three main topics: Governance of the Internet, Legal Institutions/professions in the Internet era, Legal controversies in cyberspace. There are extensive references in the essays which I found extremely useful in pursuing more details about issues raised. Its' more concerned with the situation in the UK (examples etc.), but ideas are globally present nowdays. It's probably inclined towards law issues, but sociologists and others would definately find interesting and thought provoking material here. Although issues are complicated, the language is good and it's relatively easy to read through... However, I 've used a few books on this general subject (political and social implications of the Internet), and I found this to be definately a very useful one.
