This book focuses on what is arguably the most devastating
phenomenon in the history of modern civilization, the COVID-19
pandemic. It shows how, on the one hand, the pandemic has exposed
governments the world over to deal with a major health crisis; and,
on the other, efforts by the ruling forces to enforce surveillance
on people and disciplining them by maneuvering cutting-edge digital
technology in the name of security and safety. Second, it explores
how the mainstream versions of crisis communication and risk
communication face huge challenges during a pandemic. Finally, it
analyses how the pandemic propels an extraordinary expansion of
infodemic - rapid spread of excessive quantities of misinformation
and disinformation of the fake and false variety - and how social
media in particular becomes its main tool in causing subversion of
the prevalent information order. Engaging, comprehensive and
accessible, this book will be of immense importance to scholars and
researchers of politics, especially governance and political
communication, communication studies, and public health management.
It will be vital for public policy professionals, experts in
thinktanks, career bureaucrats, and non-governmental organizations.
