Download or read book Redefining Euro Atlantic Values written by Elina Lange-Ionatamišvili and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigates misinformation and disinformation on social media in the context of the rise of 'fake news' and the birth of the 'post-truth' era. Are these concerns substantiated by facts? What are the consequences of these phenomena for the information environment? Most importantly, do these phenomena pose a threat for our societal security? This study will provide actionable knowledge by answering to these questions. This introduction is an attempt to position the emergence of 'fake news' in a wider societal context. Particular emphasis is placed on the cognitive biases that enable information manipulation. In turn, this will lead to a discussion about the tactics employed by adversarial actors to carry out information activities.

Book Undermining Democratic Institutions and Splintering NATO

Download or read book Undermining Democratic Institutions and Splintering NATO written by Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. intelligence community produced a report which found that "Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. Presidential election." The intelligence community report warns that "Moscow will apply lessons learned to future influence efforts worldwide, including against U.S. allies and their election processes." With elections on the horizon in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Italy, European intelligence services are sounding the alarm about Russian attempts to skew the outcome with targeted disinformation and propaganda. Russian disinformation has been growing in sophistication, intensity, reach, and impact. "Russia's information warfare does not crudely promote the Kremlin's agenda, instead it is calibrated to confuse, befuddle, and distract." According to the Center for European Policy Analysis, "Russia aims to erode public support for Euro-Atlantic values in order to increase its own relative power." Russia has deployed its arsenal of trolls, propaganda, and false information to a new level. Moscow's strategic objective is to break apart the NATO alliance and, thus, to boost Russian geopolitical influence in Western Europe.

Book Sousveillance  Media and Strategic Political Communication

Download or read book Sousveillance Media and Strategic Political Communication written by Vian Bakir and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fusing perspectives from politics, media studies and cultural studies, Sousveillance, Media and Strategic Political Communication offers insights into impacts on strategic political communication of the emergence of web-based participatory media ('Web 2.0') across the first decade of the 21st century. Countering the control engendered in strategic political communication, Steve Mann's concepts of hierarchical sousveillance (politically motivated watching of the institutional watchers) and personal sousveillance (apolitical, human-centred life-sharing) is applied to Web 2.0. Focusing on interplays of user-generated and mainstream media about, and from, Iraq, detailed case studies explore different levels of control over strategic political communication during key moments, including the start of the 2003 Iraq war, the 2004 Abu Ghraib scandal, and Saddam Hussein's execution in 2006. These are contextualized by overviews of political and media environments from 2001-09. Dr Bakir outlines broader implications of sousveillant web-based participatory media for strategic political communication, exploring issues of agenda-building, control, and the cycle of emergence, resistance and reincorporation of Web 2.0. Sousveillance cultures are explored, delineating issues of anonymity, semi-permanence, instanteneity resistance and social change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and eminent foreign policy scholar Zbigniew Brzezinski's classic book on American's strategic mission in the modern world. In The Grand Chessboard, renowned geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski delivers a brutally honest and provocative vision for American preeminence in the twenty-first century. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to become the sole political arbiter in Eurasian lands and to prevent the emergence of any rival power threatening our material and diplomatic interests. The Eurasian landmass, home to the greatest part of the globe's population, natural resources, and economic activity, is the "grand chessboard" on which America's supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the years to come. In this landmark work of public policy and political science, Brzezinski outlines a groundbreaking and powerful blueprint for America's vital interests in the modern world. In this revised edition, Brzezinski addresses recent global developments including the war in Ukraine, the re-emergence of Russia, and the rise of China.
