We are familiar with the unprecedented growth of surveillance after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, but a comprehensive analysis of public opinion about how privacy is being protected or invaded has been unavailable - until now. Surveillance, Privacy, and the Globalization of Personal Information reports the findings of an international survey of citizens' experiences with newly implemented security measures and their perception of privacy issues.

Covering a range of countries from China, Japan, Brazil, and Mexico to the United States, Canada, Spain, France, and Hungary, this volume reveals the similarities and differences among populations in their reactions to the surveillance era and in the amount each knows about government monitoring. Contributors deal with pertinent issues such as global, national, and local transfer of personal information about citizens' financial transactions, work, and travel. The authors also analyze how governments and the private sector are collaborating in the collection and transfer of private information.

A remarkable resource for understanding attitudes towards surveillance, security, and privacy, Surveillance, Privacy, and the Globalization of Personal Information is indispensable for anyone curious about what governments, the private sector, and citizens know about each other.

"The research on which these articles are based is a magisterial undertaking involving 9000 interviews in its nine country sweep. This book shows sensitivity to unique national characteristics and uses a nuanced approach. A kind of its own, it sets a new standard." Gary T.
