The Right to Privacy in the Light of Media Convergence –
The rapid change of the culture of communication constantly poses new threats for the right to privacy. These do not only emanate from States, but also from private actors. The global network of digital information has turned the protection of privacy since a long time into an international challenge. In this arena, national legal systems and their underlying common values collide. This collection convenes contributions from European, Australian and US experts. They take on the challenge of providing an intercontinental analysis of the issue and answer the question how the right to privacy could be defended in future.
Consumer Citizen as a Media Project
The current book asserts that reality television serves a broader social purpose than simple entertainment. Instead, this type of programing can best be understood as a revealing exposition on contemporary politics, culture, and social issues. Reality television addresses many different social groups. The book primarily examines the social and political messages conveyed by reality television to its viewers. Focusing on the notion of consumer citizenship, the study analyzes the German television program Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Germany seeks a Superstar) as a reflection of contemporary social and political issues in Germany.

Perspectives on Privacy
Due to rapid developments in the communication sector, the right to privacy faces new challenges. The increasing digitization and internationalization of communication processes have raised a number of issues, and lead to conflicts wherever national legal systems and moral concepts collide. Particularly in the areas of data protection and liability of online service providers, universal approaches are required. This title presents positions of specialists in Europe, Australia, the US and Canada which contribute to the international dialogue and thereby offer a starting point for a sustainable policy for the protection of privacy rights
Brandeis Meets Gutenberg
In 1991, a faculty exchange relationship was established between Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz (Germany) and Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville (USA). Since that time, numerous lectures, speeches and panel-talks discussing a broad range of topics were held. Today, the Mainz-Louisville exchange is a vital program that strengthens the international profile of both faculties. This collection honors the twentieth anniversary of the exchange program and presents the scientific output created in both historical and current contexts.
Murder in Our Midst
"Crime stories attract audiences and social buzz, but they also serve as prisms for perceived threats. As immigration, technological change, and globalization reshape our world, anxiety spreads. Because journalism plays a role in how the public adjusts to moral and material upheaval, this unease raises the ethical stakes. Reporters can spread panic or encourage reconciliation by how they tell these stories. Murder in our Midst uses crime coverage in select North American and Western European countries as a key to examine culturally constructed concepts like privacy, public, public right to know, and justice. Working from close readings of news coverage, codes of ethics and style guides, and ...
Gerechte Intervention?
Bewaffnete Eingriffe in innerstaatliche Konflikte sind in den letzten Jahren immer wieder als Ultima Ratio genannt worden, um der internationalen Schutzverantwortung oder dem Recht auf Selbstverteidigung nachzukommen. Sie stehen jedenfalls im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem prinzipiellen Gewaltverbot und aktuellen Realitäten, die ihren Ausdruck im Konzept der Responsibility to Protect (R2P) finden. AutorInnen aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Richtungen und Ländern setzen sich mit diesen und anderen Fragen auseinander und versuchen die Thematik aus mehreren Perspektiven und Blickwinkeln zu diskutieren.
Civil Disobedience and the German Courts
In the 1980s the West German Peace Movement -- fearing that the stationing of NATO nuclear missiles in Germany threatened an imminent nuclear war in Europe -- engaged in massive protests, including sustained civil disobedience in the form of sit-down demonstrations. Civil Disobedience and the German Courts traces the historical and philosophical background of this movement and follows a group of demonstrators through their trials in the German criminal courts up to the German Constitutional Court -- in which their fate was determined in two important constitutional cases. In this context, the volume also analyzes the German Constitutional Court, as a crucial institution of government, in comparative perspective. The book is the first full-length English language treatment of these events and constitutional decisions, and it also places the decisions at an important turning-point in German constitutional history.
Der internationale Schutz von Domainnamen und Markenrechten im Internet
Streitigkeiten um Internetdomains beschäftigen seit Jahren nicht nur staatliche Gerichte. Die Struktur des Web hat die Lösung von Domainnamenskonflikten durch außergerichtliche Streitbeilegungsverfahren begünstigt. Die Arbeit untersucht den Streitschlichtungsmechanismus der ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) für generische Top-Level-Domains (gTLDs). Die rechtliche Verbindlichkeit der hierzu weltweit angewandten UDRP Schiedsregeln (Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy) gründet sich nur auf deren zivilvertragliche Geltung. Die rechtsvergleichende Analyse des Rechtsbildungsprozesses dieses globalen Zivilrechtsregimes bildet den Kern der Abhandlung, dabei werden Unterschiede bei der Auslegung der UDRP durch die akkreditierten Schiedsgerichte evaluiert. Schließlich wird die UDRP Schiedspraxis neben die des Streitbeilegungsverfahrens für .eu-Domains gestellt und die Übertragbarkeit dieser Regulierung auf andere Bereiche der Ressource Internet behandelt.
Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Data Protection & the Law
This book provides a comparison and practical guide of the data protection laws of Canada, China (Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan), Laos, Philippines, South Korea, United States and Vietnam. The book builds on the first book Data Protection Law. A Comparative Analysis of Asia-Pacific and European Approaches, Robert Walters, Leon Trakman, Bruno Zeller. As the world comes to terms with Artificial Intelligence (AI), which now pervades the daily lives of everyone. For instance, our smart or Iphone, and smart home technology (robots, televisions, fridges and toys) access our personal data at an unprecedented level. Therefore, the security of that data is increasingly more vulnerable and can be compromised. This book examines the interface of cyber security, AI and data protection. It highlights and recommends that regulators and governments need to undertake wider research and law reform to ensure the most vulnerable in the community have their personal data protected adequately, while balancing the future benefits of the digital economy.
