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.
