Borders in Cyberspace

Information Policy and the Global Information Infrastructure

MIT Press

Today millions of technologically empowered individuals are able to
participate freely in international transactions and enterprises, social and
economic. These activities are governed by national and local laws designed for
simpler times and now challenged by a new technological and market environment as
well as by the practicalities and politics of enforcement across national
boundaries.Borders in Cyberspace investigates issues arising from national
differences in law, public policy, and social and cultural values as these
differences are reformulated in the emerging global information infrastructure. The
contributions include detailed analyses of some of the most visible issues,
including intellectual property, security, privacy, and censorship.
