The weaponization of information -- Just watch me -- Guerrilla webfare -- Tracking transformation -- Civic booty, private gain -- Faith, dough, and charity -- Islamists without borders -- Conclusion: the next battlefield. "Haroon Ullah investigates the unprecedented impact of social media across the Middle East, North Africa, and South and Southeast Asia and demonstrates how it has profoundly changed relationships between regimes and peoples, and within populations-mostly, but not always, for the better. He considers its apparent inherently "democratic," anti-establishment revolutionary impact, as well as how religious conservatives and extremists have co-opted various platforms. He goes on to show how political parties, corporations, and governments have learned to exploit digital tools to target and mobilize audiences, to ultimately achieve power and status. Identifying key trends across the Muslim world, Ullah outlines what a proper understanding of social media can teach us about regional and international politics and diplomacy.".
Includes bibliographical references (p.254-273) and index.
