Free Speech Theory

Paul Wragg

Paul Wragg is Professor of Media Law at the University of Leeds, UK.

What does free speech mean? In this book, Paul Wragg argues for a universal formulation of free speech drawn exclusively from autonomy. He demonstrates that although the right has some applicability to the horizontal plane, it is more restrictive in some contexts, and more empowering in others, than the literature presently recognises.

This innovative, rigorously researched, and comprehensive restatement of the right to free speech is both topical and important. It is an invaluable resource for policy makers, practitioners, and commentators across the globe.
