Abstract
The article discusses the role of comparativism in the law of employee privacy. It describes situations in comparative perspective such as the presentation of self, intimate association, and biometric monitoring. James Whitman provides a critique of the idea of privacy as a basis for a legal theory. He argues that privacy advocates downplay the differences of the law of privacy between the U.S. and Europe.
