Disinformation and Fake News “Disinformation and Fake News is a book full of insights from top-notch specialists on information operations. Over last several years, various regions of the world have seen a spike in the use of information operations for geopolitical or commercial reasons. It is critical to gather and compare existing knowledge across regions and sectors in one place. Everybody interested in this fast-developing field should read this volume.” —Jakub Janda, Executive Director, European Values Center for Security Policy, Czech Republic “As ‘disinformation’ has become a common keyword widely used in politics, journalism and civil society, this volume invites readers to step back and consider it as a complex, multidimensional phenomenon. By bringing together studies made by specialists from all over the world and from various disciplines, this volume makes a useful contribution to the academic debate on the issue, grappling too with the conceptual questions surrounding disinformation as a political, cultural and technical issue. Decision makers and citizens seeking an up-to-date assessment of what disinformation means for our societies and how we should (or should not) counter it will also find within some very thought-provoking ideas on how to deal with hybrid threats.” —Kevin Limonier, Associate Professor in Slavic Studies & Geography at the French Institute of Geopolitics (University of Paris 8), and Vice Director of Geopolitics of the Datasphere (GEODE) “Tackling a topic on the radar of every world leader, this book provides the richness of global perspectives that understanding disinformation requires. For a greater understanding of disinformation and how it operates, take a read.” —Fergus Hanson, Director of the International Cyber Policy Centre, Australian Strategic Policy Institute
