隐私与权力:跨大西洋自由与安全的斗争

隐私和安全争端如何影响欧盟与美国的关系,以及这对未来意味着什么。
我们生活在一个互联互通的世界,恐怖主义等安全问题正在跨越国界,全球化数据网络和电子商务平台正在重塑世界经济。这意味着各国的司法管辖权和规则体系发生冲突。他们如何协商自由和安全方面的分歧?《隐私与权力》调查了欧盟和美国这两个世界政治的主要监管体系如何监管隐私和安全,以及他们的协议和争端如何重塑跨大西洋关系。
跨大西洋自由和安全斗争通常被描述为爱好和平的欧盟与好战的美国之间的冲突。亨利·法雷尔和亚伯拉罕·纽曼证明了这种说法是如何偏离重点的。真正的争端发生在两个跨国联盟之间——一个支持安全,另一个支持自由——他们的斗争重塑了监控、电子商务和隐私权的政治。通过回顾 9/11 事件以来的三次重大安全辩论,包括乘客姓名记录数据、SWIFT 金融信息争议和爱德华·斯诺登的揭露,作者研究了跨境联盟的力量是如何兴衰的。全球化促成了新的行动策略,安全机构、内政部、隐私非政府组织、官僚和其他参与者可以根据情况利用这些策略。
《隐私与权力》是第一本关于监控政治如何转变的严肃研究,它为信息和权力在经济相互依存的世界中的作用提供了全新的视角。
Of Privacy and Power: The Transatlantic Struggle over Freedom and Security
April 2 2019 by Henry Farrell (Author), Abraham L. Newman (Author)
How disputes over privacy and security have shaped the relationship between the European Union and the United States and what this means for the future.
We live in an interconnected world, where security problems like terrorism are spilling across borders, and globalized data networks and e-commerce platforms are reshaping the world economy. This means that states’ jurisdictions and rule systems clash. How have they negotiated their differences over freedom and security? Of Privacy and Power investigates how the European Union and United States, the two major regulatory systems in world politics, have regulated privacy and security, and how their agreements and disputes have reshaped the transatlantic relationship.
The transatlantic struggle over freedom and security has usually been depicted as a clash between a peace-loving European Union and a belligerent United States. Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman demonstrate how this misses the point. The real dispute was between two transnational coalitions―one favoring security, the other liberty―whose struggles have reshaped the politics of surveillance, e-commerce, and privacy rights. Looking at three large security debates in the period since 9/11, involving Passenger Name Record data, the SWIFT financial messaging controversy, and Edward Snowden’s revelations, the authors examine how the powers of border-spanning coalitions have waxed and waned. Globalization has enabled new strategies of action, which security agencies, interior ministries, privacy NGOs, bureaucrats, and other actors exploit as circumstances dictate.
The first serious study of how the politics of surveillance has been transformed, Of Privacy and Power offers a fresh view of the role of information and power in a world of economic interdependence.
