About this ebook

In view of the tumultuous, conflictual, and divisive global environment; Russia’s military attack on Ukraine; and anti-government uprisings in Iran and elsewhere, this timely book explores the crucial roles that media, war, religion, and politics play in impacting people and forming public opinion around the world.
Prominent and accomplished experts in media, communication, politics, journalism, international relations, global studies, and cultural studies around the globe come together to present a vital resource for all decision-makers at local, national, and international levels. Multicultural and multidisciplinary contributors methodically research, assess, write, and present their findings through a variety of content and discourse analysis.
This significant collaborative book provides a valuable and much-needed global discourse and analysis of our increasingly divided nations and world. In this eclectic and multidisciplinary volume, contributors focus on various issues including the rise of nationalism, militarism, fake news, climate crisis, media corporations, economic inequalities, inequality, refugee crisis, cultural representations, social media, human interactions, information warfare, propaganda, and emergence of a new world order.
