Electronic Commerce and International Private Law examines the
maximization of consumer protection via the consumer's jurisdiction
and law. It discusses the proposition that a new connecting factor
be used to improve the efficiency of juridical protection for
consumers who contract with foreign sellers by electronic means and
offers recommendations as to how to amend existing jurisdiction and
choice of law rules to provide a basis for the consumer to sue in
his own jurisdiction and for the law of the consumer's domicile to
apply. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, students
and practitioners working in the areas of international private
law, electronic commerce law and consumer law.

Social media offers a platform for individual self-expression and
the sharing of information. However, social media issues are
boundless, permeating distinct legal disciplines. The law has
struggled to adapt and for good reason: how does the law regulate
this medium over the public/private law divide? This book engages
with the legal implications of social media from both public and
private law perspectives and outlines how the law has endeavoured
to adapt the existing tools to social media. The expert
contributors explore a range of ideas to investigate the
intersection between law and social media and they provide an
insight into the challenges the legal community currently face.
This collection explores key topics such as public and private law
implications, the gap between the lay and legal understandings of
social media, the conflict of laws regarding social media and the
individual rights associated with social media. This timely study
of a complex and ever-changing area of law will be of interest to
legal scholars, students and practitioners and will provide a
valuable source of reference for those studying or researching
media and journalism. Contributors include: R.D. Barnes, E.
