Critique of Valentina M. Donini “Bridging the Gap: Privatization Policy, Internet and E-commerce in Jordan” PDF Print E-mail

I have read recently the research paper written by Valentina M. Donini entitled “Bridging the Gap: Privatization Policy, Internet and E-commerce in Jordan”. The paper is supported by the European University Institute (EUI Working No 37/2006). I did not find much new in regard to e-commence and the legal regulation of the internet in Jordan and Arab countries. Although the paper was written in 2006, it merely compares the Jordanian E-Transaction Law No (85) of 2001 (available below) to the similar e-commerce laws that are issued in Tunisia (Electronic Exchanges and Electronic Commerce Law No. 83/2000) and U.A.E (Electronic Transactions and Commerce Law No.2/2002).

E-commerce law in the Arab World PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 11 July 2008 03:04

Most of the e-commerce Arab laws issued so far concentrate on e-commerce, and electronic contracting, electronic signature, and evidencing contracts in cyberspace, but they do not specifically deal with many other issues that need to be regulated as well. These include: domain names and its conflict with trademarks, copyright and the internet, eliminating the digital divide between the Arab countries and the technologically developed countries in relation to Information Communication Technologies (ICT), protecting privacy of individuals on the internet, modernizing administrative laws to prompt electronic exchange between government administrations, allowing companies to use the internet and other technologies to communicate with shareholders to simplify the process of corporate governance (e-corporate),cyber-crimes and many other issues as well.
