Summary:

In The Regulation of Cyberspace Andrew Murray examines the development and design of regulatory structures in the online environment. The book considers and models how all forms of control - including design and market controls, as well as traditional command and control regulation - are applied within the complex and flexible environment of cyberspace. Drawing on the work of cyber-regulatory theorists such as Yochai Benkler, Andrew Shapiro and Lawrence Lessig, The Regulation of Cyberspace suggests a model for cyberspace regulation which acknowledges its complexity. It further suggests how this model can be utilised by regulators to provide a more comprehensive regulatory structure for cyberspace.
