Constitutional Rights in the Digital Context: Exploring a Translation of the Constitutional Political Rights into the Digital Sphere

by Natalie Pompe

About this book

Natalie Pompe examines how Swiss constitutional political rights operate when public communication increasingly depends on digital platforms and algorithmic systems. The study connects constitutional doctrine with changes in journalism, information distribution, and the institutions through which citizens form political opinions.

The analysis begins with the effects of digitalisation on traditional gatekeepers and then sets out the particular features of Swiss democracy. It considers informational self-determination, the protection of communicative public spheres, and the possible extension of existing constitutional guarantees into digital settings.

The concluding chapters develop legal arguments and regulatory proposals from that framework. Readers will find a research monograph organised around the relationship between constitutional principles and technological change, with extensive references to legislation, judicial decisions, and scholarship. The publisher's digital edition retains its linked legal sources and complete scholarly apparatus.
