From regulating human behaviour to regulating data

by Giorgio Monti and Bart van der Sloot and Friso Bostoen

About this book

Edited by Bart van der Sloot, Giorgio Monti and Friso Bostoen, this volume examines the growing importance of data in regulation. The contributions connect legal analysis with questions about the ways information is collected, processed and used to shape conduct.

Chapters investigate data protection, consent, transparency and the power relations involved in digital systems. Their different approaches show how legal frameworks respond to practices that cross familiar boundaries between individuals, organizations and markets.

The collection provides a substantial scholarly treatment rather than a short practical checklist. Its arguments and references give readers several routes into the relationship between regulating people, governing information and understanding the institutions that mediate between them.
