Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Identified, Tracked, and Profiled: The Politics
Book SynopsisRevealing the politics underlying the rapid globalization of facial recognition technology (FRT), this topical book provides a cutting-edge, critical analysis of the expanding global market for FRT, and the rise of the transnational social movement that opposes it.With the use of FRT for policing, surveillance, and business steadily increasing, this book provides a timely examination of both the benefits of FRT, and the threats it poses to privacy rights, human rights, and civil liberties. Interviews with analysts and activists with expertise in FRT find that the anti-FRT movement is highly uneven, with disproportionate influence in Western democracies and relatively little influence in authoritarian states and low-income countries in the developing world. Through a global analysis of the uptake and regulation of FRT, chapters create a holistic understanding of the politics behind this technology. Concluding with a look towards the future prospects of FRT in the face of the growing size, reach, and power of its opposition, the book reflects more broadly on the power of transnational social movements and civil society activism to prevent the globalization and normalization of new technologies.A visionary exploration of FRT, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of politics and policy, alongside activists, stakeholders, and policy makers interested in the growing power of social movements to resist new technology.Trade Review‘Facial recognition technologies (FRT) are spreading rapidly worldwide, and have become embedded in numerous everyday government and corporate practices. This widespread adoption has prompted extensive criticism, particularly from civil society groups concerned about human rights abuses and discriminatory impacts for marginalized and vulnerable communities. In Identified, Tracked, and Profiled, Peter Dauvergne provides a much-needed and thoroughly comprehensive overview of the regulatory issues and policy disputes around FRT. This book is essential reading for those interested in political contests over our changing digital landscape.’ -- Ron Deibert, University of Toronto, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd European Private Law after the Common Frame of
Book SynopsisThis book paves the way for, and initiates, the second-generation of research in European private law subsequent to the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) needed for the 21st century.The book gives a voice to the growing dissatisfaction in academic discourse that the DCFR, as it stands in 2009, does not actually represent the condensed available knowledge on the possible future of European private law. The contributions in this book focus on the legitimacy of law making through academics both now and in the future, and on the possible conceptual choices which will affect the future of European private law. Drawing on experience gained from the DCFR the authors advocate the competition of ideas and concepts.This fascinating book will be a must-read for European lawyers, private lawyers in the Member States and academics dealing with conceptual issues of the future of the national and the European private law. Advanced students in both law and international business will also find this book invaluable, as will US scholars interested in the US?EU comparison of different legal orders.Trade Review‘The book is a “must read” for anybody interested in the future development of European private law.’ -- European Private Law News‘This volume contains a valuable collection of essays by a group of reputable academics, each dealing with a particular aspect of the development of a substantive law of contract at European level. The contributors have a variety of interests and perspectives. The topic is clearly of great current interest throughout the European Union and beyond.’ -- Peter Stone, University of Essex, UK‘European Private Law after the Common Frame of Reference brings together several interesting contributions from a distinguished group of scholars, and sheds light on the important issue of legal harmonization from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective.’ -- Francesco Parisi, University of Minnesota, US and University of Bologna, Italy‘The Common Frame of Reference has several potential functions, some reconcilable, others mutually exclusive. Its size, its shape, its true legal nature and its content - all remain contested. Modest or ambitious, toolbox or code-in-waiting? Its chameleon character is its strength and simultaneously its weakness, and equally the reason why it has attracted such attention. In this book the editors have assembled a veritable “who’s who” in the field and it is a terrific read.’ -- Stephen Weatherill, University of Oxford, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Hans-W.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Breach of Confidence: Social Origins and Modern
Book SynopsisThis concise yet detailed book explores the historical foundations and modern developments of the ancient doctrine of breach of confidence. The authors show that despite its humble beginnings, stilted development and air of quaintness the doctrine has modern relevance and influence, its sense of 'trust and confidence' still resonating with the information society of today. Topical chapters include, 'Inventing an equitable doctrine', 'Privacy and publicity in early Victorian Britain', 'Searching for balance in the employment relationship', as well as many others. Breach of Confidence will make insightful reading for all those interested in issues of privacy and information, and will appeal strongly to practicing lawyers and judges as well as academic researchers and postgraduate law students.Trade Review’[T]his book is a valuable addition to the literature on breach of confidence.’ -- Richard Arnold, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice’Well received internationally, the book offers a ''shrewd and scholarly'' treatment of this often complex area, largely from an historical perspective to which the authors assign direct relevance to today's information-based society. . . an important research tool not just for lawyers and judges, but academics, students and, dare we say, interested journalists. -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister MagazineThe authors of this important book have done a great service to our understanding of this fascinating area of law. Their shrewd and scholarly study traces the development and ''myriad reinventions'' of this protean doctrine from its eighteen century origins through to its most recent manifestation as a private-facts ''tort'' in English law, enriching legal analysis with consideration of the philosophical, social and economic contexts. Common law privacy scholars in particular will find that this book directly illuminates contemporary debates. -- Gavin Phillipson, University of Durham, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Face Recognition Technology: Compulsory
Book SynopsisThis book examines how face recognition technology is affecting privacy and confidentiality in an era of enhanced surveillance. Further, it offers a new approach to the complex issues of privacy and confidentiality, by drawing on Joseph K in Kafka’s disturbing novel The Trial, and on Isaiah Berlin’s notion of liberty and freedom. Taking into consideration rights and wrongs, protection from harm associated with compulsory visibility, and the need for effective data protection law, the author promotes ethical practices by reinterpreting privacy as a property right. To protect this right, the author advocates the licensing of personal identifiable images where appropriate.The book reviews American, UK and European case law concerning privacy and confidentiality, the effect each case has had on the developing jurisprudence, and the ethical issues involved. As such, it offers a valuable resource for students of ethico-legal fields, professionals specialising in image rights law, policy-makers, and liberty advocates and activists.Table of Contents
