This book explores how personalized content and the inherent
networked nature of the mobile media could and do lead to positive
externalities in social progress in Asian societies. Empirical
studies that examine uses of the mobile phone and apps (voice
mailing, SMS, mobile social media, mobile Weibo, mobile WeChat,
etc.) are featured as a response to calls for theorization of the
mobile media's efficacy as a tool for citizen engagement and
participation in civic and political affairs, especially in the
search for collective solutions to widespread social problems of
food safety, pollution, government corruption, and public health
risks. Considering the vast cultural diversity of Asian societies
that are shaped by different levels of political, social, economic,
and religious development, the book offers nuanced studies that
provide in-depth analysis of the mobile media and political
communication in a variety of communities of leading Asian
countries. From the country-specific studies, broad themes and
enduring concepts emerge.
