More About This Textbook

Overview

This book offers a broad and incisive analysis of the governance of privacy protection with regard to personal information in contemporary advanced industrial states. Based on research across many countries, it discusses the goals of privacy protection policy and the changing discourse surrounding the privacy issue, concerning risk, trust and social values. It analyzes at length the contemporary policy instruments that together comprise the inventory of possible solutions to the problem of privacy protection. It argues that privacy protection depends upon an integration of these instruments, but that any country's efforts are inescapably linked with the actions of others that operate outside its borders. The book concludes that, in a 'globalizing' world, this regulatory interdependence could lead either to a search for the highest possible standard of privacy protection, or to competitive deregulation, or to a more complex outcome reflecting the nature of the issue and its policy responses.

Editorial Reviews

Paul M. Schwartz
Based on years of research on privacy issues, Colin Bennett and Charles Raab have written an authoritative synthesis of the technical, cultural and policy interactions that are shaping the standards governing privacy round the world. This book should be required reading for any serious student or practitioner concerned about the privacy of personal information in our globally networked society.
William H. Dutton
Sophisticated, richly informative, highly analytical, and closely argued, "The Governance of Privacy" is required reading for those of us seriously concerned about the politics of privacy and data protection in the global information age.
