Aims & Scope

IDP.

Journal of Internet, Law and Politics is an e-journal produced by the UOC's Faculty of Law and Political Science.

It aims to communicate and disseminate research, on the challenges and issues that technology – and the Internet in particular – poses in the fields of law, political science, public administration, criminology and international relations.

The papers published are based on the results of original research.

Specifically, the thematic areas of the journal are those that spark reflection and discussion on the changes and the scope of the impact that technology and its constant advance have on fundamental rights, freedom of expression in the network, personal data protection, intellectual property, e-commerce, cybercrime, e-government and, in general, the formulation of public policies for the digital field.

And they do so both from the point of view of theoretical reflection and by presenting specific experiences in some of these fields.

Occasionally, depending on the editorial interest, call for papers are opened to produce a special issue, although the special issue may also maintain the articles' section of the thematic areas of the journal.
