The regulation and flow of information continues to have a critical
impact upon how people live their lives and the way society
functions. In recent times, disinformation and privacy violation
have become the 'information pollution' of the 21st century. This
book explores ways and means of protecting the 'information
environment' by drawing upon four theories of contemporary
environmentalism: welfare economics, the commons, ecology, and
public choice theory. Welfare economics highlights the need to
focus on costs (as well as benefits) when evaluating regulatory
structures. The commons encourages queries about the validity of
propertisation. Ecology speaks to the importance of diversity and
resilience. And public choice theory hazards against the regulatory
effect of concentrated interests. The lessons from each inspire the
proposed information environmental governance framework. By neatly
capturing the metaphorical relationship between the physical
environment and the information environment, Robert Cunningham
explores progressive regulatory pathways for the digital age. This
book will be a thought-provoking read for scholars and students
with an interest in intellectual property or the regulation of
information.
