A daily battle for rights and freedoms in cyberspace is being waged in                  Asia. At the epicenter of this contest is China--home to the world's largest                  Internet population and what is perhaps the world's most advanced Internet                  censorship and surveillance regime in cyberspace. Resistance to China's Internet                  controls comes from both grassroots activists and corporate giants such as Google.                  Meanwhile, similar struggles play out across the rest of the region, from India and                  Singapore to Thailand and Burma, although each national dynamic is unique. Access                  Contested, the third volume from the OpenNet Initiative (a collaborative partnership                  of the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs, the                  Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, and the SecDev Group                  in Ottawa), examines the interplay of national security, social and ethnic identity,                  and resistance in Asian cyberspace, offering in-depth accounts of national struggles                  against Internet controls as well as updated country reports by ONI researchers. The                  contributors examine such topics as Internet censorship in Thailand, the Malaysian                  blogosphere, surveillance and censorship around gender and sexuality in Malaysia,                  Internet governance in China, corporate social responsibility and freedom of                  expression in South Korea and India, cyber attacks on independent Burmese media, and                  distributed-denial-of-service attacks and other digital control measures across                  Asia.
