Regulating Cross-Border Data Flows

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Springer Nature Link "This book paints a rich picture of the issues policymakers should address when regulating cross-border data flows. A must-read for all those interested in governance processes in a global data-driven economy." -Enrico Bonadio, Reader in Intellectual Property Law - City, University of London, UK. "The book by Mercurio and Yu provides invaluable insights into the dynamics of the data- driven economy. Building upon a deep understanding of the existing regulatory frameworks and the geopolitical powerplays, the authors charter the way forward for a coherent regulation of cross-border data flows as the lifeblood of our societies." - PROF. DR.IUR. MIRA BURRI, Chair for International Economic and Internet Law, Managing Director Internationalization, Principal Investigator ERC Consolidator Grant: TRADE LAW 4.0 (2021- 2026), University of Lucerne, Switzerland. "The professional and diverse academic backgrounds of the two authors have ensured not only the quality of the output but also the unique perspectives of the discussion throughout. The book aims to provide an answer to the challenges of the new economy, it took a holistic approach in examining the pros and cons of the current framework and proposes an interest- based solution."- Dr. TianxiangHe, School of Law at the City University of Hong, China. "This book distinguishes itself from the existing one in at least two aspects. For one, it is written by Hong Kong legal academics--HK is a global hub for various data-driven applications, and the HK government has been on the frontline of rolling out new regulatory approaches governing data-related issues. Hong Kong's policies can inform other jurisdictions; moreover, its unique status as related to the Greater China Area, too, makes Hong Kong experience as a & quot; smart city " an attractive case study. For another, the authors have strong backgrounds in patents/IPRs; this is a very important yet less explored angle in the context of data governance. This book should be read by all scholars, policymakers and lawyers who are keen to capture the dynamics of law and data-driven technologies in Hong Kong, the hub of the most dynamic markets in Asia."-Dr. Han-Wei Liu, Senior Lecturer, Monash University, Australia. Readers will benefit from the nuanced comparative analysis of leading FTAs emphasising the subtle differences in the drafting of exceptions to relevant provisions. -IIC-International Review of Intellectual Property and Competition Law
