Reviews

'The editors, three leaders in the field, have structured this Research Handbook well, starting with a global survey of developments in key regions. The relationships between data protection and other disciplines (or other branches of law) continue this comprehensive approach. Finally, issues concerning key types of personal data, or situations of their use, are highlighted. Many chapter contributors are well known leaders in the field, and the others are emerging scholars expert in the cutting-edge issues that they cover.' -- Graham Greenleaf, University of New South Wales, Australia
