This book rethinks the idea of privacy. It argues that a
satisfactory account of privacy should not limit itself to
identifying why privacy might be valuable. It also needs to attend
to the further question of how it can be secured in those
circumstances in which it proves to be valuable. Drawing on
republican ideas about the relationship between freedom and
self-government, the book asserts that privacy is valuable, because
it enables us to lead non-dominated lives. It prevents others from
acquiring power to interfere in our choices - to remove options
that would otherwise be available to us, and to manipulate our
decision-making. It further examines the means through which
citizens might exercise effective control over decisions and
actions that affect their privacy and proposes a democratic theory
of privacy. With the emergence of the 'surveillance state,' this
volume will be indispensable for scholars, students, and
researchers in political theory, political philosophy, law, and
human and civil rights. It will be of particular interest to
policymakers, lawyers, and human rights activists.
