Privacy and Power

Russell A. Miller is Professor of Law at the Washington and Lee University School of Law where his research and teaching focuses on comparative constitutional law. He is the author and editor of a number of books, including The Constitutional Jurisprudence of the Federal Republic of Germany, 3rd edition (2012) and US National Security, Intelligence and Democracy (2008). He has lectured and published extensively in the US and Germany on the issues of privacy and intelligence oversight.

'The book makes an outstanding contribution to the field of transatlantic privacy relations, by presenting a range of diverging views - by US and German scholars -, thus drawing a rich pool of thought-provoking conclusions on similar issues that may differ substantially.' Maria Tzanou, Computer and Telecommunications Law Review
