Media as Politics in South Asia

Media as Politics in South Asia

The dramatic expansion of the media and communications sector since the 1990s has brought South Asia on the global scene as a major center for media production and consumption. This book is the first overview of media expansion and its political ramifications in South Asia during these years of economic reforms. From the puzzling liberalization of media under military dictatorship in Pakistan to the brutal killings of journalists in Sri Lanka and the growing influence of social media in riots and political protests in India Nepal and Bangladesh the chapters analyse some of the most important developments in the media fields of contemporary South Asia. Attentive to colonial histories as well as connections within and beyond South Asia in the age of globalization the chapters combine theoretically grounded studies with original empirical research to unravel the dynamics of media as politics. The chapters are organized around the three frames of participation control and friction. They bring to the fore the double edged nature of publicity and containment inherent in media thereby advancing postcolonial perspectives on the massive media transformation underway in South Asia and the global South more broadly. For the first time bringing together the cultural regulatory and social aspects of media expansion in a single perspective this interdisciplinary book fills the need for overview and analytical studies on South Asian media. | Media as Politics in South Asia

Liberal Roots of Far Right Activism The Anti-Islamic Movement in the 21st Century

Liberal Roots of Far Right Activism The Anti-Islamic Movement in the 21st Century

This book explores the anti-Islamic turn and expansion of the far right in Western Europe North America and beyond from 2001 and onwards.

The leaders and intellectuals involved have varied backgrounds many coming from the left uniting historically opposed sets of values under their banner of a civilizational struggle against Islam. The findings presented in this book indicate that anti-Islamic initiatives in Western Europe and the United States form a transnational movement and subculture characterized by a fragile balance between liberal and authoritarian values. The author draws on a broad array of data sources and methods including network analysis and sentiment analysis to analyze the impact of the anti-Islamic expansion and turn at a macro level and the theoretical implications for our understanding of the current far right flowing from this. Offering an overview of anti-Islamic activism the book explores the background of their leaders and ideologues provides an in-depth look at their ideology online organizational networks and the views expressed by their online members as well as which emotions and messages continue to drive their mobilization. The book will be of interest to scholars in the social movement field as well as political scientists sociologists and general readers interested in issues such as populism extremism and understanding the ways in which the contemporary far right challenges liberal democracies. | Liberal Roots of Far Right Activism The Anti-Islamic Movement in the 21st Century

The Sustainable Manifesto A Commitment to Individual Economical and Political Change

The Sustainable Manifesto A Commitment to Individual Economical and Political Change

In The Sustainable Manifesto Kersten Reich describes in a concise and memorable way the necessary actions that humans need to take to live sustainably and combat climate change. Are we sufficiently capable of changing our behaviour towards sustainability? What do we have to do in a more sustainable way and how? The Sustainable Manifesto considers questions around behaviour-change and action for sustainability and connects this thinking to current research in both the natural and human sciences. Reich begins by addressing the most important risks to sustainability and looks in particular at climate change biodiversity land use and global phosphorus and nitrogen cycles. He goes on to identify the main causes that have led to the current crisis: specifically the human desire for expansion growth in all areas progress and competitive advantages that have forced consideration of the common good into the background. In this vein the author highlights how economics and politics are two driving forces for which sustainability is difficult to comprehend going against their basic principles of a liberal and now neo-liberal expansion of all markets. Finally Reich demonstrates how sustainability could be possible if we reprioritize our life goals and face the reality of an ecological crisis and the necessary transformation of society in order to save our planet. Innovative and accessible this book will be of interest to students and researchers of sustainability theories of learning human behaviour as well as those who are looking for answers on how to fight for a sustainable future. | The Sustainable Manifesto A Commitment to Individual Economical and Political Change
