The Ethics of Cyberspace Summary

The Ethics of Cyberspace by Cees Hamelink

In this book, Cees J Hamelink proposes an answer to - how should democratic societies organize cyberspace? - that puts human-rights, rather than profit, at the top of the agenda. He argues that conventional ethical approaches are all seriously flawed. There is a growing volume of moral rules, netiquettes and codes of conduct, but they are of little help in solving the moral dilemmas raised by the new technologies. In this book the author analyzes the inadeqacies of current global governance policies and structures that underpin them, and argues for standards which put justice, human security and freedom first.

The Ethics of Cyberspace Reviews

`Cees Hamelink has written an indispensible pionering guide to the moral maze of cyberspace. It is at the same time an informative, critical and practical response to the global challenges of information communication technology for all who care about human rights and citizenship' - Denis McQuail, Emeritus Professor, University of Amsterdam
