    Blurring the Lines: Market-Driven and Democracy-Driven Freedom of Expression
    Edstrom, M ; Kenyon, A ; Svensson, E ; Edstrom, M ; Kenyon, AT ; Svensson, E-M (Nordicom, 2016)
    This book focuses on challenges from the market to free speech and how free speech can be protected, promoted and developed when lines between journalism and advertising are blurred. With contributions from 20 scholars in law, media studies and philosophy, it explores an issue deserving greater attention, market pressures on freedom of expression. The role of commercial constraints on speech, restrictions and control of media content and the responsibility of state institutions in protecting free speech are some of the topics scrutinized from a democratic free speech perspective.

    Justice: The China Experience
    Sapio, F ; Trevaskes, S ; Biddulph, S ; Nesossi, E ; Sapio, F ; Trevaskes, S ; Biddulph, S ; Nesossi, E (Cambridge University Pres, 2017)
    Claims about a pursuit of justice weave through all periods of China's modern history. But what do authorities mean when they refer to 'justice' and do Chinese citizens interpret justice in the same way as their leaders? This book explores how certain ideas about justice have come to be dominant in Chinese polity and society, and how some conceptions of justice have been rendered more powerful and legitimate than others. This book's focus on 'how' justice works incorporates a concern about the processes that lead to the making, un-making and re-making of distinct conceptions of justice. Investigating the processes and frameworks through which certain ideas about justice have come to the political and social forefront in China today, this innovative work explains how these ideas are articulated through spoken performances and written expression by both the party-state and its citizenry.
