商品描述

This book will provide critical insights into Internet governance through an in-depth examination of human rights law.

 

The term Internet governance is used to describe the interlinked processes that steer the growth and development of the Internet. The Internet is unique as a user-generated, international, decentralised technology that has evolved without strong State control and, as such, poses distinct regulatory challenges.

 

Given the pervasive nature of the Internet, its use increasingly brings implications for the protection of human rights. Equality of access, privacy and freedom of expression all need to be supported within a governance structure that is often dominated by State and commercial interests. Internet Governance: A Human Rights Perspective examines the regulatory framework and the role of the State, self-regulatory bodies and co-regulatory initiatives from the perspective of the protection of fundamental freedoms. The book will be in three main parts: the first will examine the international human rights framework with a focus on Internet development; the second will take specific rights in turn and present an in-depth analysis of key policy issues; and the third will bring these together to present a critical account of the potential for human rights debates to shape the future of the Internet.

 

This book will be of great interest to students and academics with an interest in IT law, Internet regulation and human rights law.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書將通過深入研究人權法,提供對互聯網治理的關鍵見解。

「互聯網治理」一詞用於描述引導互聯網增長和發展的相互關聯的過程。互聯網作為一種由用戶生成的國際分散技術,沒有強大的國家控制,因此帶來了獨特的監管挑戰。

由於互聯網的普及性,其使用日益對人權保護產生影響。在通常由國家和商業利益主導的治理結構中,需要支持平等訪問、隱私和言論自由。《互聯網治理:人權透視》從保護基本自由的角度,研究了監管框架以及國家、自律機構和共同監管倡議的角色。本書將分為三個主要部分:第一部分將研究國際人權框架,重點關注互聯網發展;第二部分將逐個討論特定權利,深入分析關鍵政策問題;第三部分將將這些內容結合起來,批判性地探討人權辯論對塑造互聯網未來的潛力。

本書對對IT法、互聯網監管和人權法感興趣的學生和學者將具有很大的吸引力。
