Global Privacy Protection reviews the origins and history of national privacy codes as social, political and legal phenomena in Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, South Korea and the United States. The first chapter reviews key international statements on privacy rights, such as the OECD, EU and APEC principles.

It will also appeal to policy-makers in the many countries now contemplating the adoption of privacy codes, as well as to privacy activists.
