More than a simple case study, it explores how the new conflicts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoriginating from the worldwide expansion of the Internet economy are being dealt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith by the institutional mechanisms available at the European level. The analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof these conflicts exposes the tensions and contradictions between, on the one\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehand, legal and political systems that are limited by territory, and, on the other\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehand, the inherently global functioning of the Internet. The EU’s promising\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einitiatives to extend the protection of privacy in cyberspace set the stage for a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebroader dialogue on constitutional problems related to the enforcement of fundamental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erights and the legitimate exercise of power that are common to different\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elegal orders of world society. Nevertheless, the different ways of dealing with the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompetition and fiscal aspects of the conflicts with Google also indicate the same\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elimits that are generally attributed to the very project of European integration,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshowing that the constitutionalization of the economy tends to outpace the constitutionalization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding a detailed account of the unfolding of these conflicts, and their wider\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econsequences to the future of the Internet, this book will appeal to scholars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworking in EU law, international law and constitutional law, as well as those in the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efields of political science and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45582791442670,"sku":"9780367181956","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367181956.jpg?v=1721089822","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/global-technology-and-legal-theory-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
