Social media technology is having a dramatic impact on social and
political dynamics around the world. The contributors to this book
document and illustrate this "techtonic" shift on violent conflict
and democratic processes. They present vivid examples and case
studies from countries in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin
America as well as Northern Ireland. Each author maps an array of
peacebuilding solutions to social media threats, including
coordinated action by civil society, governments and tech companies
to protect human minds, relationships and institutions. Solutions
presented include inoculating society with a new digital literacy
agenda, designing technology for positive social impacts, and
regulating technology to prohibit the worst behaviours. A must-read
both for political scientists and policymakers trying to understand
the impact of social media, and media studies scholars looking for
a global perspective.
