Patterns Of Censorship Around The World e-bog

"e;This volume addresses an important aspect in the political life of mostsocieties today: limitations on freedom of expression and the existence ofcensorship. As a topic for research, study, and reflection-particularly in itscomparative dimension-freedom of expression is a somewhat neglected area. The vast majority of studies in this field focus either on a specific aspect offreedom of expression or on a specific country. The current volume, however,assumes that there is much to be gained by studying freedom of expression andcensorship practices broadly and comparatively. In a world grown small, globalperspective is possible and beneficial, particularly when it is applied to an issueof great relevance for all societies."e;
