Is International Law Ready for the (Already Ongoing) Digital Age? Perspectives from Private and Public International Law

Excerpts from a book review:

I find particularly interesting the discussion about when and to what extent a State can demand and enforce that information and operations on the internet comply with its laws. In the borderless environment of the internet there is an obvious risk that many States, for instance all States from where internet content can be or has been accessed, simultaneously consider themselves legitimately authorized to regulate online activities, perhaps imposing mutually incompatible requirements. There is, in fact, substantial support for such “effects doctrine” among legal writers, at least regarding some situations.
[...]
Despite its modest size, the volume contains many thought-provoking ideas and proposals. I can recommend it to all jurists interested in a concise but informative presentation and discussion of this fascinating area of public and private international law.
