Data Privacy Law

This groundbreaking book examines the aims and principles of data privacy law, along with the mechanisms for its oversight and enforcement, in an international context.

'This book goes where others have feared to tread. It goes beyond a simple analysis of national legislation into a global survey of the provisions and directions of the burgeoning law on this topic... academically rigorous yet also practical and uniquely well informed. It is important, clear and timely. Highly recommended.'
The Hon Michael Kirby AC, CMG, Onetime Justice of the High Court of Australia, and Chair of the OECD Expert Groups on Protection of Privacy and on Data Security

'An admirably clear and comprehensive analysis of data privacy law around the world. It provides not only an overview of the complexity and ambiguity of this developing subject, but detailed analysis, perceptive comment, and criticism as weli. It will be read with benefit by students, practitioners, and many others who have an interest in what happens to their personal data and how it is, and might be, regulated.'
Charles D. Raab, Professor of Government, University of Edinburgh
