The Privacy Pirates

Author: 

Gruis, Leslie N.

Credentials: 

Leslie Gruis served at the National Security Agency for 30 years. Originally recruited as a mathematician with a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, Dr. Gruis was talent-spotted for her people and policy-setting skills and rapidly became a rising star. She ascended through the ranks, became the head of an organization that funded start-ups for classified applications, and then entered the high-level policy arena just as the intelligence community began to face unprecedented privacy challenges. These included the role of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in targeting Americans and major changes to the intelligence community forced by the privacy revelations of whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Dr. Gruis’s long-standing interests in the rights of Americans and the American dream coalesced in a deep interest in privacy as a concept. She influenced intelligence community policy on privacy for the rights of Americans and wrote a number of classified policy documents on that subject. Upon retirement, Dr. Gruis began a second career writing about the privacy rights of the American public. She focused on what Americans are entitled to know and what can be done to protect them from exploitation by giant commercial organizations. Dr. Gruis is the author of Privacy: Past, Present, and Future. She also writes for traditional and online media, appears on radio and television, and gives frequent public appearances. Dr. Gruis lives in Maryland with her family.

In The Privacy Pirates, former National Security Agency intelligence officer Dr. Leslie Gruis explains the origins of American privacy and its deep connection to freedom and the American dream. She discusses some of the controversial issues, covering everything from attempts to protect privacy rights—many unsuccessful—to abuses of privacy by large companies and accusations of privacy invasion by the government.

Credentials:

He obtained his B.S. and M.S. in Political Science from the University of Nigeria, Nsuka, and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Ibadan. He served as Vice President of the African Studies and Research Forum in 2012-2014.

Nathaniel Umukoro is Professor of International Security, Peace Studies, and Conflict Resolution in the Department of Political Science, Western Delta University, Nigeria. He is currently Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the University of Bayreuth, in Germany. He completed his Ph.D. in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Ibadan in 2015. He was a fellow of the Next Generation Social Sciences in Africa Unit of the Social Science Research Council, in New York.

One of the major challenges in Nigeria since independence in 1960 has been human rights violations. During military rule, the problem was attributed to the undemocratic nature of military regimes. When the military handed over power to civilians after a democratic election in 1999, it was expected that democratic governance would lead to improved respect for human rights. Nevertheless, human rights violations persisted. The character of Nigeria’s civilian government since 1999 has raised questions as to whether the form of government in Nigeria is democratic or something else.

The Age of Foolishness: A Doubter’s Guide to Constitutionalism in a Modern Democracy

Author: 

Allan, James

Credentials: 

James Allan is the Garrick Professor in Law at the University of Queensland, in Australia. He has published in leading constitutional and legal philosophy law journals and writes for The Spectator, Australia, The Australian, Quadrant, Law & Liberty, The National Post, among others.

The Age of Foolishness is a doubter’s guide to current lawyerly thinking about all things related to constitutionalism in a democracy. This book offers a thorough-going skeptical critique of the views that dominate our legal caste, including in law schools and among judges, and place too much weight on judges to resolve important social policy disputes and too little on democratic politics. The author argues that politics matters in a way that our legal orthodoxy often downplays.
