Based on more than seven years of data collection and interdisciplinary research, #Help presents a ground-breaking study of digital humanitarianism and its ramifications for international law and politics.Global problems and policies are being reconfigured, regulated, and addressed through digital interfaces developed for humanitarian ends. #Help analyses how populations, maps, and emergencies take shape on the global plane when given digital form and explores the reorientation of nation states'' priorities and practices of governing around digital data collection imperatives.

Yet the values implicit in disputes being resolved in person, and in public, are fundamental to how we have imagined the fair resolution of disputes for centuries. Could justice be delivered online? The idea has excited and appalled in equal measure, promising to bring justice to all, threatening to strike at the heart of what we mean by justice. With online courts now moving from idea to reality, we are looking at the most fundamental change to our justice system for centuries, but the public understanding of and debate about the revolution is only just beginning.In Online Courts and the Future of Justice Richard Susskind, a pioneer of rethinking law for the digital age, confronts the challenges facing our legal system and the potential for technology to bring much needed change. Drawing on years of experience leading the discussion on conceiving and delivering online justice, Susskind here charts and develops the public debate.Against a background of austerity politics and cuts to legal aid, the public case for online courts has too often been framed as a business case by both sides of the debate. Are online courts preserving the public bottom line by finding efficiencies? Or sacrificing the interests of the many to deliver cut price justice? Susskind broadens the debate by making the moral case (whether online courts are required by principles of justice) and the jurisprudential case (whether online courts are compatible with our understanding of judicial process and constitutional rights) for delivering justice online.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn summary, Susskind's latest book is another extraordinary contribution to justice reform.

Bruce Schneier, author of Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyperconnected World\u003cbr\u003e'The Right to Repair is a riveting account of the multi-faceted ways in which developers of a wide range of devices today inhibit or thwart the ability of consumers to fix those devices, ways in which laws sometimes reinforce the developer restrictions, and various strategies by which a repair-friendly landscape could be renewed. Consumers have largely ignored the high costs of buying unfixable devices - not just to their pocketbooks but also to the environment. The nascent right to repair social movement is gaining momentum.

Using case studies and examples from across the EU, the UK, and the US, this book provides a compass to navigate this technological transformation as well as the regulatory options available, and proposes a new map for the era of radical digital advancements.  From platform work to the gig-economy and the impact of artificial intelligence, algorithmic management, and digital surveillance on workplaces, technology has overwhelming consequences for everyone’s lives, reshaping the labour market and straining social institutions. Contrary to preliminary analyses forecasting the threat of human work obsolescence, the book demonstrates that digital tools are more likely to replace managerial roles and intensify organisational processes in workplaces, rather than opening the way for mass job displacement.  Can flexibility and protection be reconciled so that legal frameworks uphold innovation? How can we address the pervasive power of AI-enabled monitoring? How likely is it that the gig-economy model will emerge as a new organisational paradigm across sectors? And what can social partners and political players do to adopt effective regulation?  Technology is never neutral. It can and must be governed, to ensure that progress favours the many. Digital transformation can be an essential ally, from the warehouse to the office, but it must be tested in terms of social and political sustainability, not only through the lenses of economic convenience. \u003ci\u003eYour Boss Is an Algorithm\u003c\/i\u003e offers a guide to explore these new scenarios, their promises, and perils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnology is fundamentally revolutionising the world of work - in this magisterial contribution, Aloisi and De Stefano traverse the impact of innovation on jobs, from the prospect of full automation to platform work and future-proofing labour law.

Topics covered include contracts for cloud services, information ownership and licensing, privacy and data protection, standards and competition law, law enforcement access to data, and international tax models for cloud and other digital services. The book is organised in four parts. Part I explains what cloud computing is, why it matters, and what non-technical readers need to know about how it works. Part II includes a detailed review of standard contracts for 40 cloud services and highlights key legal and commercial issues that arise in negotiated transactions for cloud services. Ownership of, and access to, ''digital assets'' are also explored. Part III focusses on the application of data protection and cybersecurity rules, including an in-depth assessment of the impact of the EU''s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on providers and users of cloud services.

The second edition of International E-Discovery provides an analysis from across the globe of the different approaches to and cutting-edge techniques in the use of digital evidence in legal and regulatory contexts.  Technology specialists and legal practitioners in different jurisdictions come together to explain the latest developments in how digital evidence is collected, interrogated and deployed in response to legal proceedings, regulatory investigations, and in order to comply with organisational requirements. The perennial problem created by the vast volumes of corporate data continues to present a significant challenge around the world whilst at the same time new software is developed and the legal and regulatory systems are more accepting of the involvement of technology in litigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations.  Computer science grounded in statistics invades traditional legal knowledge giving rise to new approaches in legal procedure and outcomes. Effectively bringing together the skills and approaches of two very different disciplines is vital to maintaining a system of proportionate justice.  Leading practitioners who work at the coal face on a daily basis look at professional competency and conduct, privacy laws, judicial awareness, the skilful deployment of powerful search tools and the shape of the future.

This book is particularly helpful for someone who needs to be guided through Blockchain’s most important technical and operational elements.’\u003c\/i\u003e -- Herbert Hovenkamp, University of Pennsylvania Law School and the Wharton School, US\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e‘By reducing transaction costs and facilitating trust among parties to transactions, blockchains reduce the need for centralized legal structures in economic activity. They also make transactions less transparent to regulators and can be used to harbor anticompetitive practices. Hence they contribute to deconcentrating economic structures and, simultaneously, raise challenges for competition law enforcement. However, competition authorities can also benefit from the blockchain technology in their enforcement activity. Thibault Schrepel in this path-breaking book explores the evolving complex relationship between blockchain and antitrust and the ways they can benefit from one another. This forward-looking and fascinating analysis is a must read for anyone interested in one of the most important technological development of our time.’\u003c\/i\u003e -- Frederic Jenny, OECD Competition Committee, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e‘More than any other field of business law, antitrust has much in common with emerging blockchain technologies. Dr. Schrepel has been at the forefront of research in the relationship between these two fields. His hopeful approach, as discussed in this book, towards a mutually beneficial relationship between antitrust law amd blockchain technology will help ensure maximal realization of the efficiency-enhancing promise of blockchain – namely, lowering the costs of networking and increasing transparency. Moreover, this book does an excellent job of discussing both the procompetitive (favored by the antitrust laws) attributes of blockchain and its ability to facilitate anticompetitive harm (outlawed by the antitrust laws), and showing how the law and the emerging technology can live in harmony to the benefit of consumers. I was proud, as head of the DOJ Antitrust Division, to have the Division join Dr. Schrepel’s academic project on this topic and look forward to his continued contributions to this important emerging field.’\u003c\/i\u003e -- Makan Delrahim, Department of Justice Antitrust Division, US\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e‘This book is the first of its kind.

This theory permeates advocacy, laws, and popular ways of understanding the state and its information. But the theory does not describe the contemporary state, which is both too secret and too leaky.\u003c\/p\u003e 1Liberating the Family Jewels: \"Free\" Information and \"Open\" Government in the Post-War Legal Imaginary chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter presents the history of early transparency advocacy and its relationship to prevalent theories of democracy. The concepts of \"freedom of information\" and the \"right to know\" carry the weight of the transparency advocacy movement. The concepts assumed their current meanings in the post–World War II campaign to fight against government secrecy, a campaign that established certain means of understanding the state, information, and the press that remain key elements of access to information law today—means that relied upon broader theoretical justifications developed in modern political theory. In their development and deployment, the two concepts reveal transparency's symbolic meaning, as well as its emphasis on the state as an entity defined by its information.\u003c\/p\u003e 2Supplementing the Transparency Fix: Innovations in the Wake of Law's Inadequacies chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eFOIA has not fully solved the problem of government secrecy. Advocates' disappointment and frustration with the legal fix for government secrecy have spawned innovative transparency campaigns that seek a better, more effective means to unveil the state than legal rights. This chapter describes three of them: Transparency International and other anti-corruption NGOs; advocacy for digital transparency via the use of information technology to open government data and make a more responsive state; and WikiLeaks and the vigilante transparency movement it has helped usher in. The movements share a commitment to freeing government information but have different visions of the state and the best policies to make it transparent. The chapter demonstrates that the nearly universal embrace of transparency as a normative good masks irreconcilable substantive disagreements over what the newly visible state should look like.\u003c\/p\u003e 3Transparency's Limits: Balancing the Open and Secret State chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers the philosophical and practical critiques of transparency and the justifications for secrecy that support a broad privilege for government to keep secrets. The longstanding, widely accepted notion that transparency must have limits and that state secrecy is essential for the state's functions has led to a body of law and group of norms that enable and even encourage the state to control information. The imperfect resolution to the conflict between secrecy and transparency follows from the contested boundaries between transparency's reach and secrecy's limits. This unresolvable contest in turn drives the chase for an elusive balance between disclosure and privilege, one that can produce both a vibrant democracy with an informed electorate as well as a secure nation and functional state.\u003c\/p\u003e 4The Uncontrollable State chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers the state as a set of logically but loosely organized bureaucratic institutions that occupy vast geographic and physical space. The contemporary state's size and complexity resist the kind of informational controls that transparency and secrecy require as administrative ideals. These ideals presume the existence of a singular entity capable of communication, understood as sending the message of government information to a receiver or preventing itself from doing so by choosing to be uncommunicative. But the state cannot serve as the producer and repository of information that controls information's flow and acts as a unified, intentional communicator. It sprawls too much geographically and organizationally to perfectly send, or keep itself from sending, its information as a message.\u003c\/p\u003e 5The Impossible Archive of Government Information chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers how the state's complex and contextual process of producing and holding information undermines the notion that the government information that is disclosed or kept secret can serve as a message worthy of transmission or suppression. \"Government information\" exists, of course, but only as a hypothetical ideal. It makes up a boundless archive that cannot be known. Most importantly, the archive cannot be fully disclosed or kept fully secret. The chapter illustrates this by discussing the difficulties created by the problem of conceptualizing and therefore controlling the government document, the sheer size of the government's archives, and the effects that the effort to keep information secret and to force its disclosure have on information's production and circulation in the bureaucratic state.\u003c\/p\u003e 6Disclosure's Effects? chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers whether the disclosure of government information has effects by asking three questions: First, is the public capable of responding rationally and knowledgeably to disclosure? Second, does the public even exist in some discernible form? These two questions pose the core challenge to transparency and secrecy. The academic literature across multiple disciplines challenges not only the assumption that the public is capable of understanding state information but also that some public even exists in an identifiable form. The third question is whether institutions of various sorts—those state and private organizations that serve on the public's behalf or might undermine the nation's security and well-being—have the capacity to respond to disclosure in rational and predictable ways. To assume that these institutions can do so assumes that they too have the capacity to understand and respond rationally to government information—assumptions that rest on a shaky foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e 7The Implausibility of Information Control chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eSecrecy is exceedingly difficult to maintain. This chapter offers three case studies that illustrate the various means by which information seeps out of the state, including deliberate leaks by officials and accidental leaks that occur by bureaucratic mistake, observation and reporting by people outside the government who witness state action, and the act itself of keeping secrets, which can disclose information about government plans and actions. One case study chronicles Vice President Cheney's surprisingly unsuccessful efforts to keep the National Energy Policy Development Group (NEPDG) secret; another describes several instances in which redaction has not kept secret the information it covers and shows how redaction fails to completely stop interpretation and knowledge while it generates imaginative means to gather information and interpret the absent content; and the third discusses the difficulty that the government faces in controlling even its most prized secrets about covert operations.\u003c\/p\u003e 8The Disappointments of Megaleaks chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe unauthorized release of massive numbers of classified or secret government documents offers an opportunity to test disclosure's effects. If transparency matters, then Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks' revelation of huge caches of documents should enable the public to learn more and engage more knowledgeably with the issues the documents raise, increasing public accountability with more enlightened political debate and participatory democracy. But if disclosure proves harmful and secrecy is essential, then the leak of these materials should significantly increase the nation's vulnerability in discernible ways and harm its relationships internationally. Reviewing open source materials, this chapter concludes that there is no clear or meaningful pattern of effects that WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden caused. This finding does not support the claims that advocates make about disclosure's necessity or its danger, and it casts doubts on legal standards that ask judges or officials to balance the benefits and risks of disclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e Conclusion: The West Wing, the West Wing, and Abandoning the Informational Fix chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis brief concluding chapter discusses two things: how the TV series The West Wing demonstrates our ambivalence about secrecy and transparency by giving full access to a transparently fictional White House whose officials debated why they kept secrets; and why seeking to tinker with government institutions and transparency mandates will ultimately be more successful than imagining government information can be fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409385365847,"sku":"9781503601710","price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781503601710.jpg?v=1730506620"},{"product_id":"the-transparency-fix-secrets-leaks-and-uncontrollable-government-information-9781503602663","title":"The Transparency Fix: Secrets, Leaks, and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs the government too secret or not secret enough?

But the theory does not describe the contemporary state, which is both too secret and too leaky.\u003c\/p\u003e 1Liberating the Family Jewels: \"Free\" Information and \"Open\" Government in the Post-War Legal Imaginary chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter presents the history of early transparency advocacy and its relationship to prevalent theories of democracy. The concepts of \"freedom of information\" and the \"right to know\" carry the weight of the transparency advocacy movement. The concepts assumed their current meanings in the post–World War II campaign to fight against government secrecy, a campaign that established certain means of understanding the state, information, and the press that remain key elements of access to information law today—means that relied upon broader theoretical justifications developed in modern political theory. In their development and deployment, the two concepts reveal transparency's symbolic meaning, as well as its emphasis on the state as an entity defined by its information.\u003c\/p\u003e 2Supplementing the Transparency Fix: Innovations in the Wake of Law's Inadequacies chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eFOIA has not fully solved the problem of government secrecy. Advocates' disappointment and frustration with the legal fix for government secrecy have spawned innovative transparency campaigns that seek a better, more effective means to unveil the state than legal rights. This chapter describes three of them: Transparency International and other anti-corruption NGOs; advocacy for digital transparency via the use of information technology to open government data and make a more responsive state; and WikiLeaks and the vigilante transparency movement it has helped usher in. The movements share a commitment to freeing government information but have different visions of the state and the best policies to make it transparent. The chapter demonstrates that the nearly universal embrace of transparency as a normative good masks irreconcilable substantive disagreements over what the newly visible state should look like.\u003c\/p\u003e 3Transparency's Limits: Balancing the Open and Secret State chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers the philosophical and practical critiques of transparency and the justifications for secrecy that support a broad privilege for government to keep secrets. The longstanding, widely accepted notion that transparency must have limits and that state secrecy is essential for the state's functions has led to a body of law and group of norms that enable and even encourage the state to control information. The imperfect resolution to the conflict between secrecy and transparency follows from the contested boundaries between transparency's reach and secrecy's limits. This unresolvable contest in turn drives the chase for an elusive balance between disclosure and privilege, one that can produce both a vibrant democracy with an informed electorate as well as a secure nation and functional state.\u003c\/p\u003e 4The Uncontrollable State chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers the state as a set of logically but loosely organized bureaucratic institutions that occupy vast geographic and physical space. The contemporary state's size and complexity resist the kind of informational controls that transparency and secrecy require as administrative ideals. These ideals presume the existence of a singular entity capable of communication, understood as sending the message of government information to a receiver or preventing itself from doing so by choosing to be uncommunicative. But the state cannot serve as the producer and repository of information that controls information's flow and acts as a unified, intentional communicator. It sprawls too much geographically and organizationally to perfectly send, or keep itself from sending, its information as a message.\u003c\/p\u003e 5The Impossible Archive of Government Information chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers how the state's complex and contextual process of producing and holding information undermines the notion that the government information that is disclosed or kept secret can serve as a message worthy of transmission or suppression. \"Government information\" exists, of course, but only as a hypothetical ideal. It makes up a boundless archive that cannot be known. Most importantly, the archive cannot be fully disclosed or kept fully secret. The chapter illustrates this by discussing the difficulties created by the problem of conceptualizing and therefore controlling the government document, the sheer size of the government's archives, and the effects that the effort to keep information secret and to force its disclosure have on information's production and circulation in the bureaucratic state.\u003c\/p\u003e 6Disclosure's Effects? chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter considers whether the disclosure of government information has effects by asking three questions: First, is the public capable of responding rationally and knowledgeably to disclosure? Second, does the public even exist in some discernible form? These two questions pose the core challenge to transparency and secrecy. The academic literature across multiple disciplines challenges not only the assumption that the public is capable of understanding state information but also that some public even exists in an identifiable form. The third question is whether institutions of various sorts—those state and private organizations that serve on the public's behalf or might undermine the nation's security and well-being—have the capacity to respond to disclosure in rational and predictable ways. To assume that these institutions can do so assumes that they too have the capacity to understand and respond rationally to government information—assumptions that rest on a shaky foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e 7The Implausibility of Information Control chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eSecrecy is exceedingly difficult to maintain. This chapter offers three case studies that illustrate the various means by which information seeps out of the state, including deliberate leaks by officials and accidental leaks that occur by bureaucratic mistake, observation and reporting by people outside the government who witness state action, and the act itself of keeping secrets, which can disclose information about government plans and actions. One case study chronicles Vice President Cheney's surprisingly unsuccessful efforts to keep the National Energy Policy Development Group (NEPDG) secret; another describes several instances in which redaction has not kept secret the information it covers and shows how redaction fails to completely stop interpretation and knowledge while it generates imaginative means to gather information and interpret the absent content; and the third discusses the difficulty that the government faces in controlling even its most prized secrets about covert operations.\u003c\/p\u003e 8The Disappointments of Megaleaks chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe unauthorized release of massive numbers of classified or secret government documents offers an opportunity to test disclosure's effects. If transparency matters, then Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks' revelation of huge caches of documents should enable the public to learn more and engage more knowledgeably with the issues the documents raise, increasing public accountability with more enlightened political debate and participatory democracy. But if disclosure proves harmful and secrecy is essential, then the leak of these materials should significantly increase the nation's vulnerability in discernible ways and harm its relationships internationally. Reviewing open source materials, this chapter concludes that there is no clear or meaningful pattern of effects that WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden caused. This finding does not support the claims that advocates make about disclosure's necessity or its danger, and it casts doubts on legal standards that ask judges or officials to balance the benefits and risks of disclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e Conclusion: The West Wing, the West Wing, and Abandoning the Informational Fix chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis brief concluding chapter discusses two things: how the TV series The West Wing demonstrates our ambivalence about secrecy and transparency by giving full access to a transparently fictional White House whose officials debated why they kept secrets; and why seeking to tinker with government institutions and transparency mandates will ultimately be more successful than imagining government information can be fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409387594071,"sku":"9781503602663","price":21.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781503602663.jpg?v=1730506628"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/digital-it-and-communications-law.oembed?page=6","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
