Ethics, Law, and Digital Society
A section of Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (ISSN 0718-1876).
Section Information
This section serves as a vital forum for examining the complex interplay between ethics, law, and societal values within digital commerce. We welcome original research that critically analyzes the ethical imperatives and regulatory challenges arising from digital transformation, with particular focus on cross-border e-commerce governance, ethical AI deployment, and digital rights protection. The section seeks scholarly contributions that not only identify emerging threats and challenges but also develop practical frameworks, policies, and solutions to ensure digital commerce evolves in a fair, transparent, and accountable manner. We encourage cross-disciplinary studies that address the equitable distribution of risks and benefits in digital ecosystems, while fostering responsible innovation and inclusive digital transformation.
