Springer Nature, one of the world’s most renowned academic publishers, has released a brand-new volume on the chilling effect, edited by Gergely Gosztonyi and Gergely Ferenc Lendvai.

The new book, Legal and Ethical Issues of Chilling Effect, offers a systematic, interdisciplinary examination of the chilling effect as a core analytical problem. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars and experts in the fields of law, sociology, political science, communications studies and the social sciences, the book directly addresses the conceptual, methodological, and normative dilemmas and paradoxes that have long surrounded the discussion on the silencing of those exercising their freedom of expression.

The chapters cover topics such as free speech, surveillance, artistic and academic freedom, digital governance, and self-censorship. 

The professional partner for the publication of the book was the ADVANCED_24 funding scheme of the Ministry of Culture and Innovation of Hungary from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
