| Abstract
|
:
|
"In recent years, Internet control has become one of the major indicators to assess the balance between freedom and security in democracies. This book explores and compares how, why, and to what extent, national governments decide to control the Internet and how this impacts on crucial socio-economic activities and fundamental civil rights. The author provides detailed studies on the US, Germany, and Italy and further case studies on Japan, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Israel, Spain, Finland, and Switzerland to address topics such as cyberterrorism, the protection of information infrastructures, and the impact on individual privacy and freedom of speech." "This is the first cross-country, comparative study on the issue of Internet control. It will be of interest to international relations scholars and students, and particularly to those with an interest in the Internet."--Jacket.
