Reviews

This book persuasively argues that substate actors, including interior ministries and data protection officials, form international networks to accomplish internationally what they cannot win domestically. The clearest value of the book comes from its diverse case studies. The discussion of the 2000 Safe Harbor for commercial transfers of personal data from the European Union to the United States is particularly outstanding. --Peter Swire, Georgia Institute of Technology


Showcasing a 'new interdependence' framework, Of Privacy and Power analyzes how overlaps in the rules governing global information flows create power asymmetries that destabilize domestic policy bargains. The result is an understanding of the world where stable equilibria are rare, and distinctions between the national and the international are erased. This book delivers a politics of scale that gives researchers a useful structure for studying the international political economy as an integrated but unstable system. --Mark Blyth, Brown University Unlike critics who see transatlantic security relationships as hegemonic or conflictual, Farrell and Newman discern connections that are deeply ambivalent and increasingly institutionalized. In Of Privacy and Power, they show that these relationships are profoundly restructuring the domestic institutions governing freedom and security on both sides of the Atlantic. Their bold concept of 'the new interdependence' should lead liberal internationalists and neorealists to revisit their views of the transatlantic order. --Sidney Tarrow, author of The New Transnational Activism This book persuasively argues that substate actors, including interior ministries and data protection officials, form international networks to accomplish internationally what they cannot win domestically.
