From the Back Cover

In The Regulation of Cyberspace Andrew Murray examines the development and design of regulatory structures in the online environment.

The book considers and models how all forms of control – including design and market controls, as well and traditional command and control regulation – are applied within the complex and flexible environment of Cyberspace. Drawing on the work of Cyber-regulatory theorists such as Yochai Benkler, Andrew Shapiro and Lawrence Lessig, The Regulation of Cyberspace suggests a model for Cyberspace regulation which acknowledges its complexity. It further suggests how this model can be utilised by regulators to provide a more comprehensive regulatory structure for Cyberspace.
