| Summary: | "Hedieh Nasheri investigates the current state of industrial espionage, revealing the far-reaching effects of advances in computing and wireless communications, in view of the recent revolution in information technology. Synthesizing perspectives from leading national and international authorities, Nasheri analyzes the historical and conceptual foundations of economic espionage, trade secret thefts, and industrial spying. She demonstrates how these activities impact society, and tracks the legislative and statutory efforts to control them. The international ramifications of economic espionage are emphasized and more than 40 accounts of noteworthy cases and episodes are included. Hedieh Nasheri is Associate Professor of Justice Studies at Kent State University and a Visiting Professor at the University of Turku Law School in Finland.

Nasheri is a principal consultant on a grant project at Columbia University's National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, investigating Internet and international regulatory aspects of diversion and abuse of prescription drugs. She also serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Criminal Justice Education. She is an officer and director on the board of directors for several national professional trade associations and the Director of Baccalaureate Degree Programs in legal studies throughout the United States for an educational policy arm of the American Bar Association."--Publisher description. |
