Freedom of expression is generally analysed as a bare liberty
against restraint by state action. Underpinning rationales for
freedom of speech very often imply, however, that the concept also
has important positive aspects, and that to be truly
‘democratic’ the modern polity requires more than negative
freedom. In contemporary conditions, this understanding of free
speech raises matters such as media diversity or pluralism, the
concept of voice and access to the public sphere, access to
information, and the need to rethink the audience in relation to
public speech. Whether securing positive free speech is a matter of
politics or of law, a task for legislatures or for courts, is an
open question. On one level, any programme of inculcating positive
dimensions of free speech might be understood as inherently
polycentric and hence political in character. Yet, a number of
jurisdictions evince enhanced legal recognition for the principle.
The aim of this collection of papers is to interrogate the
rationales of positive free speech, to consider the political and
juridical methods by which it has or may be more fully reflected in
the modern state, and to consider the range of practical contexts
in which its valorisation has or would have significant
implications. The contributors are drawn from an array of European
and international jurisdictions. They include academic lawyers and
communications researchers
