Reviews

This book offers an unprecedented in-depth analysis of cyberlaw issues arising in e-business, resulting in a unique collection of academic yet practical papers.

– Takashi Kubota, Waseda University, Japan

Bringing together contributions from lawyers, scholars, and policy-makers from Japan, the US, the UK, India, Malaysia, and elsewhere, Kubota presents 15 chapters examining issues arising out of the conduct of e-business from an international perspective as national laws are thought to be inadequate and under-developed.

– Book News Inc. (2008)

This book is a collection of papers of in-depth analysis on the latest legal and business issues by cyberlaw and business experts from Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom, and Asia nations. It was easy for an economist such as myself to understand, and also very interesting and thought-provoking in considering future IT policies.
