Privacy protection encompasses politics and public policy, alongside law and technology, as highlighted by Colin Bennett and Charles Raab. In a globalized world, privacy-related policies are interdependent. This updated paperback edition analyzes various privacy policy instruments available to advanced industrial states, including government regulations, transnational regimes, self-regulation, and privacy-enhancing technologies. The authors explore two dynamics of privacy regulation: a "race to the bottom," where countries competitively deregulate to attract investment, versus a "race to the top," promoting the establishment of global privacy standards. Bennett and Raab discuss the goals of privacy protection, the liberal and individualist assumptions underlying it, and the often-overlooked connection between privacy and social equity. They evaluate different policy instruments, such as the 1995 Directive on Data Protection from the European Union, and assess the effectiveness of both the "top-down" statutory approach and self-regulatory alternatives. The authors analyze the interrelationships of these instruments within a global regulatory framework involving state and non-state actors. Ultimately, they question whether the proliferation of policy activity at international, national, and corporate levels translates to improved privacy protection.

When a thunderstorm's dark reverberations glimmer 'in the night-sky of the head', or when apricots generate an edible appreciation of 'soft time', we discover Charles Bennet's lyrical and powerful poems revealing the impact of nature in memorable, unexpected and sometimes unusual ways. This fascinating collection concerns itself with forms of fluid interfaces between natural and human environments. Beginning and ending in gardens, it explores aspects of experience informed and affected by close observation. Time and again, whether in the form of a blackbird's tuneful message, a seashell's glossy interior, or the smell of fresh rain, our relationship with ecology is reinvigorated. Delighted, rapturous and occasionally disturbing, this is a collection enthralled by the sensual delights of the natural world and its creatures."'should we / have been listening more / and listening harder?' Charles Bennett wonders in 'Planting Apricots'. But it's difficult to imagine poems that listen more closely than these to the 'green music' of the natural world. At play is a sensibility which - alert to happenstance and to the lives of plants and creatures - willingly finds a common ground that furnishes moments of quiet transcendence. The vivid precision of the image-making attests to the thoughtful rigour of this poet's attention. A sow was never before 'like a lake of treacle' but will always be so now." Katharine Towers

A book of lyrical landscape poetry set in the Cambridgeshire Fens and with a mission to revise and overturn common impressions of this landscape, powerfully revealing the intrinsic interest, peculiarity and dynamism of the Fens.

Social Citizenship in the Shadow of Competition explores how economic concepts and tools are reshaping regulatory law. Building on studies that link law - both institutionally and discursively - to the legitimation of economic neo-liberalism, the book charts lawmakers' attempts to justify social welfare regulation in the language imposed by economic theory. It presents new qualitative findings from an ambitious regulatory reform programme targeting over 1,700 pieces of legislation.
