Of Privacy and Power

"Privacy and Power" explores how the European Union and United States have navigated the complex balance between security and privacy in a globalized, interconnected world. The book examines the evolving disputes and alliances between two transnational coalitions—those advocating for liberty and security—and how these struggles have influenced policies on surveillance, e-commerce, and privacy rights. Through analysis of key security debates since 9/11, the authors reveal how globalization has empowered various actors to shape the politics of privacy and security on an international stage.
