The advent of the knowledge economy and society has made it increasingly necessary for law reformers and policy makers to take account of the effects of technology upon the law and upon legal and political processes. This book explores aspects of technology's relationship with law and government, and in particular the effects changing technology has had on constitutional structures and upon business. Part I examines the legal normative influence of constitutional structures and political theories. It focuses on the interrelationship between laws and legal procedure with technology and the effect technology can have on the legal environment. Part II discusses the relationship between government and technology both at the national and international level. The author argues that technology must be contextualized within a constitution and draws on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate how technology has both shaped civilizations and been the product of its political and constitutional environment.

Reviews for Technology and Legal Systems

'Noel Cox's book is a landmark in the confluence of several key streams of literature. At its core is the interaction between technology and legal systems...The technology-law interaction is placed in the context of their tripartite interrelations with business, government and society, to provide rich empirical and analytical dimensions to this pioneering study...The book demonstrates the gains from being written by an author with expertise in both [legal and technological] fields.' Nick von Tunzelmann, University of Sussex, UK 'For universities with departments in Business, Law and Communications, the book is a valuable addition to their libraries.'
