  • Migrants, State Responsibilities, and Human Dignity

    Open AccessRoger BrownswordARTICLERatio Juris2021

    This article addresses two questions: First, how does the value of human dignity distinctively bear on a state’s responsibilities in relation to migrants; and, secondly, how serious a wrong is it when a state fails to respect the dignity of migrants? In response to these questions, a view is presented about the distinction between wrongs that violate cosmopolitan standards and wrongs that violate the standards that are distinctive to a particular…

  • Punitive and preventive justice in an era of profiling, smart prediction and practical preclusion

    Open AccessDeryck Beyleveld, Roger BrownswordARTICLEInternational Journal of Law in…2019References: 2

    In the context of a technology-driven algorithmic approach to criminal justice, this paper responds to the following three questions: (1) what reasons are there for treating liberal values and human rights as guiding for punitive justice; (2) is preventive justice comparable to punitive justice (such that the guiding values of the latter should be applied to the former); and (3) what should we make of preventive measures that rely not so much on …

  • Testing Times Ahead

    Open AccessRoger Brownsword, Jeff Wale et al.ARTICLEModern Law Review2018Cited by: 2

    This article reviews the Nuffield Council on Bioethics’ report on Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT); and introduces two general questions provoked by the report – concerning, respectively, the nature and extent of the informational interests that are to be recognised in today's ‘information societies’ and the membership of today's ‘genetic societies’. The article also considers the role and nature of the Nuffield Council. While the Council's r…

  • Precaution in the Governance of Technology

    Andy Stirling, Roger Brownsword et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2017

    Strong political pressures mean that few issues in international governance of science and technology are more misunderstood than the precautionary principle. Often accused of being ‘anti-science’, precaution simply acknowledges that not all uncertainties can be artificially aggregated to ‘risk’. ‘Real-world’ imperatives for justification, acceptance, trust, and blame management unscientifically suppress the indeterminacies, complexities, and var…

  • Trade, Commerce, and Employment

    Kenneth G Dau-Schmidt, Kenneth G Dau‐schmidt et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2017

    The technology of production shapes the employment relationship and important issues in its regulation. The new information technology has transformed the organization of production replacing large vertically organized firms governed by the internal labour market with horizontally organized firms governed by a global labour market. These changes require policymakers to broaden the definitions of ‘employee’, ‘employer’, and ‘appropriate bargaining…

  • Surveillance Theory and its Implications for Law

    Tjerk Timan, Maša Galič et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2017

    This chapter provides an overview of key surveillance theories and their implications for law and regulation. It presents three stages of theories that characterize changes in thinking about surveillance in society and the disciplining, controlling, and entertaining functions of surveillance. Beginning with Bentham’s Panopticons and Foucault’s panopticism to discipline surveillees, surveillance theory then develops accounts of surveillant assembl…

  • Data Mining as Global Governance

    Fleur Johns, Roger Brownsword et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2017

    Data mining technologies are increasingly prominent in development and aid initiatives in which context they may be understood to be doing work of global governance. This chapter explains how data mining may be so characterized and explores how this work may be compared to more conventional governance techniques and institutions. The chapter first provides an overview of some exemplary initiatives among international institutions in which data mi…

  • Hardwiring Privacy

    Lee A Bygrave, Roger Brownsword et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2017

    This chapter examines regulatory efforts to ensure that due account is taken of privacy and related interests in the development of information systems such that these interests are, in effect, integrated (or ‘hardwired’) into the resulting systems. Such efforts are typically described in terms of ‘Privacy by Design’ and ‘Data Protection by Design’. The basic argument advanced in the chapter is that such efforts are unlikely to gain broad tractio…

  • Human Rights and Information Technologies

    Giovanni Sartor, Roger Brownsword et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2017

    The social changes brought about by the deployment of information technologies are wide-ranging and fundamental. A human rights analysis of such technologically driven changes shows how they implicate significant opportunities as well as risks. The chapter argues that human rights are a core aspect of regulating such technologies, particularly as human rights provide a unifying purposive perspective for diverse technologies and deployment context…

  • Liberal Democratic Regulation and Technological Advance

    Tom Sorell, John Guelke et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2016

    This chapter considers an array of new technologies developed for bulk collection and data analysis that are sometimes connected by critics with mass surveillance. While the use of such technologies can be compatible with democratic principles, the NSA’s system of bulk collection has been likened to that practised by the Stasi in the former German Democratic Republic. Drawing on Pettit’s concept of domination, we dispute the comparison, conceding…

  • Regulating Workplace Technology

    Tonia Novitz, Roger Brownsword et al.EDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Law,…2016

    The development of workplace technology has tended to reflect the interests of employers in promoting profitability, whereas worker concerns have been acknowledged in legislation that restricts the most egregious of employer practices. This chapter explores that history and the current legal and regulatory framework, which is explicable with reference to resistance. However, it is suggested that we could also view technology in the workplace as p…

  • The Cambridge Handbook of Human Dignity

    Open AccessMarcus Düwell, Jens Braarvig et al.EDITORBOOKCambridge Handbook of Human Dignity2014

    This introduction to human dignity explores the history of the notion from antiquity to the nineteenth century, and the way in which dignity is conceptualised in non-Western contexts. Building on this, it addresses a range of systematic conceptualisations, considers the theoretical and legal conditions for human dignity as a useful notion and analyses a number of philosophical and conceptual approaches to dignity. Finally, the book introduces cur…
