Hamengku Buwono Ix, The Late Sultan Of Yogyakarta Special Province, Is Revered By Indonesians As One Of The Great Founders Of The Modern Indonesian State. He Leaves A Positive But In Some Ways Ambiguous Legacy In Political Terms. His Most Conspicuous Achievement Was The Survival Of Hereditary Yogyakartan Kingship, And He Provided Rare Stability And Continuity In Indonesia’s Highly Fractured Modern History. Under The New Order, Hamengku Buwono Also Helped To Launch The Indonesian Economy On A Much Stronger Growth Path. Although Remembered As The Epitome Of “political Decency”, He Faded From Power And Influence As Vice President In The 1970s, And The Repressive And Anti-democratic Features Of Suharto’s New Order Seemed To Contradict Much Of What Hamengku Buwono Originally Stood For. This Biography Seeks To Explain His Political Standpoint, Motivations, And Achievements, And Set His Career In The Context Of His Times.

From China to Facebookistan, the Internet has transformed global commerce. A cyber-law expert argues that we must free Internet trade while simultaneously protecting consumers.

On the ancient Silk Road, treasure-laden caravans made their arduous way through deserts and mountain passes, establishing trade between Asia and the civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean. Today’s electronic Silk Roads ferry information across continents, enabling individuals and corporations anywhere to provide or receive services without obtaining a visa. But the legal infrastructure for such trade is yet rudimentary and uncertain. If an event in cyberspace occurs at once everywhere and nowhere, what law applies? How can consumers be protected when engaging with companies across the world?

In this accessible book, cyber-law expert Anupam Chander provides the first thorough discussion of the law that relates to global Internet commerce. Addressing up-to-the-minute examples, such as Google’s struggles with China, the Pirate Bay’s skirmishes with Hollywood, and the outsourcing of services to India, the author insightfully analyzes the difficulties of regulating Internet trade. Chander then lays out a framework for future policies, showing how countries can dismantle barriers while still protecting consumer interests.
