The InformationSocietyProject at Yale Law School is proud to
announce that registration is now open for
"The Global Flow of Information" conference,
which will take place on April 1-3, 2005 at Yale Law School.
Please register early, as seating is limited. This ground-breaking
conference will bring together policymakers, lawyers, technologists,
social activists, and academics to discuss globalization and the law
in terms of information flow.
Patterns of information flow are one of the most important factors
shaping globalization. Today, all sorts of entities -- individuals,
groups, countries, and international organizations -- are trying to
promote and control the flow across national borders of different
kinds of information, including intellectual property, scientific
research, political discourse, brand names, and cultural symbols.
Ever-proliferating digitally networked environments subject
information to yet new methods of distribution and manipulation.
Control and influence of information flow will help define who holds
power in the global information economy.
This conference will explore these patterns of information flow and
their political, economic, social, and cultural consequences. We will
explore four key questions:
* Can the flow of information across borders be controlled? If so,
how? * Whose interests will be affected by flows of information
across borders? Who will be empowered and who will lose
influence
and authority? * What role can and should law play in securing
freedoms, rights, and democratic accountability as individuals,
groups, and nations struggle over control of information flows? *
What lessons can we learn about how to regulate information
flow
from past experience with other kinds of flow across borders,
such
as flows of goods, services, people, and capital?
We invite you to join leading experts in academia, industry, and the
non-profit sector to debate the patterns, problems, and power of
information flows in six different contexts:
(1) Governance
(2) Economics
(3) Culture
(4) Politics
(5) Science
(6) Warfare
