Abstract
The papers collected in this special issue were originally presented at the international conference Public Domain and Democracy in the Digital Age held in Uppsala, Sweden, on 18-19 September 2014. The conference was recorded, and each talk with the follow-up debate can be viewed at http://media.medfarm.uu.se/play/kanal/226. The event was co-organized by the Philosophy Department at Uppsala University (Patricia Mindus) and the Swedish Law and Informatics Research Institute at Stockholm University’s Faculty of Law (Cecilia Magnusson Sjöberg), and sponsored by KUSKO at Uppsala University’s Faculty of History and Philosophy, the Edvard Cassel Foundation at Stockholm University’s Faculty of Law, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation. A selection of the videos was picked up by the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR), which is part of the Swedish public service broadcasting group, and televised on 12 April 2015 in slightly edited versions (available at http://ur.se/Produkter/188532).
