Publisher's Synopsis
The advancement of information and communication technology has led to a multi-dimensional impact in the arenas of law, regulation, and governance. The laws, rules and regulations of the digital domain remain a challenge with the transformation of technology. The Constitution of many countries have declared data protection as a fundamental right. Such a trend is evident not only by the current reform of data protection law aimed at modernizing the global regulatory framework but also by the judiciary in landmark judgments. Furthermore, the legal domain must face many challenges with the speed of technological innovations due to abject global latitude, massive scale of content exchange and data collection, and the relative secrecy issues of internet users. Thus, it is essential to continue discussions involving policies and law that regulate and monitor these activities and anticipate new laws that should be implemented to protect users.
This book will focus on the complex relationships of technology and law, both in terms of substantive legal responses to legal, social, and ethical issues arising in connection with growing public engagement with technology and the procedural impacts and transformative potential of technology on traditional and emerging forms of dispute resolution. This book will also provide a broader foundation upon which academics and professionals in the fields could improve current security activities and contribute to the protection of the nation.
