Patterns Of Censorship Around The World

<p>"This volume addresses an important aspect in the political life of most <br>societies today: limitations on freedom of expression and the existence of <br>censorship. As a topic for research, study, and reflection-particularly in its <br>comparative dimension-freedom of expression is a somewhat neglected area. <br>The vast majority of studies in this field focus either on a specific aspect of <br>freedom of expression or on a specific country. The current volume, however, <br>assumes that there is much to be gained by studying freedom of expression and <br>censorship practices broadly and comparatively. In a world grown small, global <br>perspective is possible and beneficial, particularly when it is applied to an issue <br>of great relevance for all societies."</p>
