DESCRIPTION:Dr Andrew A. Adams has just spent nine months visiting Meiji U
 niversity in Tokyo\, funded by a Global Research Award from the Royal Acad
 emy of Engineering. He has been studying the legal and social approach to 
 privacy of electronic data in Japan and will present some of the results o
 f his study.\n\nThere is a myth amongst researchers that there is no such 
 thing as "Privacy" in Japan. Dr Adams refutes that and shows that the adve
 nt of networked information processing of personal data has brought Japane
 se attitudes to information privacy to a highly similar position to Wester
 n attitudes.\n\nGrounded in the social and psychological literature about 
 Japan\, this work explains the emergence of Japanese legal protection for 
 personal data in\nrecent years.\n
