Omschrijving
This volume explores sameness and difference between the United States and France in the matters of freedom of expression on the Internet. Contributors present American exceptionalism and the French exception as functionally equivalent logics that lead to different freedom of expression outcomes.
A highly sophisticated and important work that should not only move the field of communication law and policy into a new era, but do the same for the study of comparative law, legal globalization, Internet governance, law and society, and, indeed, international relations.
This book offers a superb investigation of French and American exceptionalism, a value in national philosophies and practices that has not received sufficient attention in communication scholarship. Eko’s work provides new ways of charting exceptionalism’s role in the development of legal regimes around intellectual property, freedom of speech and technological innovations, enriching our understanding of global media with its compelling depth and power.
