Beginning with internet neutrality and ending with an overview of developing free expression controversies in comparable western democracies, experts reestablish the link between free expression and the underlying values it may serve.

Recenzje

"Not since Watergate have mass media and free speech issues been so critically implicated in the health and ills of our democracy. This volume highlights the most urgent contemporary challenges to our Western free speech tradition, from the persistent drive of polarized politics to the crisis of intellectual freedom on campus. Experienced educators in constitutional law and the courts, Helen J. Knowles and Brandon T. Metroka present authors in an accessible discourse over free speech today, and whether it will survive tomorrow."-Richard J. Peltz-Steele, Chancellor Professor, University of Massachusetts Law School
