>
>In the book Human Rights in the Global Information Society, edited by
>Rikke Frank Jorgensen, the contributors examine the links between
>information technology and human rights. Scholars, human rights activists,
>and practitioners debate issues such as freedom of expression, access to
>information, privacy, discrimination, gender equality, intellectual
>property, political participation, and freedom of assembly in the context
>of information and communication technology, exploring the ways in which
>the information society can either advance human rights around the world
>or threaten them.
>
>The book is published by MIT Press in the series The Information
>Revolution and Global Politics.
