This book addresses issues on the nexus of freedom of and property
in information, while acknowledging that both hiding and exposing
information may affect our privacy. It inquires into the physics,
the technologies, the business models, the governmental strategies
and last but not least the legal frameworks concerning access,
organisation and control of information. It debates whether it is
in the very nature of information to be either free or monopolized,
or both. Analysing upcoming power structures, new types of
colonization and attempts to replace legal norms with
techno-nudging, this book also presents the idea of an infra-ethics
capable of pre-empting our pre-emption. It discusses the
interrelations between open access, the hacker ethos, the personal
data economy, and freedom of information, highlighting the
ephemeral but pivotal role played by information in a data-driven
society. This book is a must-read for those working on the
contemporary dimensions of freedom of information, data protection,
and intellectual property rights.

The book in front of you is the first international academic volume
on the legal, philosophical and economic aspects of the rise of 3D
printing. In recent years 3D printing has become a hot topic. Some
claim that it will revolutionize production and mass consumption,
enabling consumers to print anything from clothing, automobile
parts and guns to various foods, medication and spare parts for
their home appliances. This may significantly reduce our
environmental footprint, but also offers potential for innovation
and creativity. At the same time 3D printing raises social,
ethical, regulatory and legal questions. If individuals can print
anything they want, how does this affect existing systems of
intellectual property rights? What are the societal consequences of
the various types of products one can print with a 3D printer, for
example weapons? Should all aspects of 3D printing be regulated,
and if so, how and to what ends? How will businesses (have to)
change their way of working and their revenue model in light of the
shift to printing-on-demand? How will the role of product designers
change in a world where everyone has the potential to design their
own products? These and other questions are addressed in high
quality and in-depth contributions by academics and experts,
bringing together a wide variety of academic discussions on 3D
printing from different disciplines as well as presenting new
views, broadening the discussion beyond the merely technical
dimension of 3D printing. Bibi van den Berg is Associate Professor

Ensuring online safety has become a topic on the regulatory agenda
in many Western societies. However, regulating for online safety is
far from easy, due to the wide variety of national and
international, private and public actors and stakeholders that are
involved. When regulating online risks for children it is important
to strike the right balance between protection against harms on the
one hand and safeguarding their fundamental freedoms and rights on
the other. The authors in this book attempt to grapple with
precisely this theme: striking the right balance between ensuring
safety for children on the internet while at the same time enabling
them to experiment, to learn, to enrich their lives, to acquire
skills and to have fun using this global network. The authors come
from various scientific disciplines, ranging from law to social
science and from media studies to philosophy. This means that the
book provides the reader with both empirical and
theoretical/conceptual chapters and sheds a multi-disciplinary
light on the complex topic of regulating online safety for
children.
Cyber norms and other ways to regulate responsible (state)
behaviour in cyberspace is a fast moving political and diplomatic
field. The academic study of these processes is a varies and
interdisciplinary field. However, to date, much of the literature
has been organised according to discipline, with rising interests
in the field of international law, political science and IR, and
international governance. Both the broader field of the study of
international cyber security and internet governance, as well as
the subfield of norms and state behaviour in cyberspace are
relatively young, making their way into specialised journals. This
volume brings together researchers from various academic
disciplines around the theme of responsible state behaviour in
cyberspace. The authors come from disciplines such as international
law, IR, business studies, political science and philosophy. The
collection is divided into three parts. The first looks at current
debates in and about international law in cyberspace. The second
focuses on power politics and the way institutions (international
organisations and legal instruments) adapt to the realities of
cyber space and digital conflict. It also looks at the normative
behaviour of states including China, Egypt and the Gulf States and
sub-state actors such as intelligence agencies. The third part
takes a critical look at multi-stakeholders and corporate
diplomacy. How do global tech companies shape their role as norm
entrepreneurs in cyber space and how do their cyber diplomatic
efforts relate to their company identity?

Cyberspace has become the ultimate frontier and central issue of
international conflict, geopolitical competition, and security.
Emerging threats and technologies continuously challenge the
prospect of an open, secure, and free cyberspace. Additionally, the
rising influence of technology on society and culture increasingly
pushes international diplomacy to establish responsible state
behavior in cyberspace and internet governance toward fragmentation
and polarization. In this context, novel normative practices and
actors are emerging both inside and outside the conventional sites
of international diplomacy and global governance. In Hybridity,
Conflict, and the Global Politics of Cybersecurity, Fabio Cristiano
and Bibi van den Berg explore the hybridity and conflict inherent
to these recent processes of remodulation of the global politics of
cybersecurity by analyzing emerging normative practices, threats
and technologies, and actors. Through this comprehensive analysis,
this edited volume ultimately sheds light on the problematic logic
of emergence that informs the global politics of cybersecurity and
delineates novel normative paths for cyberspace moving forward.
