After Snowden

Privacy, Secrecy and Security in the Information Age

Ronald Goldfarb,

About this book

Seven previously unpublished essays exploring the ramifications of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's actions on our lives today.

"These essays point to the need to put in place now, while we are still somewhat rational on the subject, real standards, tests, and consequences that will sufficiently reward the right kinds of disclosures about our national intelligence system, while deterring the wrong kinds." ?Anne Richardson, Los Angeles Review of Books

Was Edward Snowden a patriot or a traitor? Just how far do American privacy rights extend? And how far is too far when it comes to government secrecy in the name of security? These are just a few of the questions that have dominated American consciousness since Edward Snowden exposed the breath of the NSA's domestic surveillance program.

In these seven previously unpublished essays, a group of prominent legal and political experts delve in to life After Snowden, examining the ramifications of the infamous leak from multiple angles:

• Washington lawyer and literary agent RONALD GOLDFARB acts as the book's editor and provides an introduction outlining the many debates sparked by the Snowden leaks.

• Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist BARRY SIEGEL analyses the role of the state secrets provision in the judicial system.

• Former Assistant Secretary of State HODDING CARTER explores whether the press is justified in unearthing and publishing classified information.

• Ethics expert and dean of the UC Berkley School of Journalism EDWARD WASSERMAN discusses the uneven relationship between journalists and whistleblowers.

• Georgetown Law Professor DAVID COLE addresses the motives and complicated legacy of Snowden and other leakers.

• Director of the National Security Archive THOMAS BLANTON looks at the impact of the Snowden leaks on the classification of government documents.

• Dean of the University of Florida Law School JON MILLS addresses the constitutional right to privacy and the difficulties of applying it in the digital age.

"Readers interested in the legal, political, and journalistic ramifications of national security leaks, including students in these areas, will find these essays accessible and discover much to consider in them." ?Amanda Mastrull, Library Journal
