Book Synopsis Political Campaigning in Digital India by : Anil M. Varughese
Download or read book Political Campaigning in Digital India written by Anil M. Varughese and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a conceptual toolkit to understand the changing technologies and dynamics of political campaigning in India. Examining political campaigning and party strategies across many Indian states, with special attention to regional politics, histories, cultures, social and technological contexts, the book discusses the potential impacts of campaign strategies on electoral outcomes. Political campaigning reached a tipping point with millions of social media users engaging online with family and friends, political issues, parties and candidates in India’s 2019 parliamentary election. Although India’s political parties had been working with consultants and professional advertising agencies for decades, by 2019, millions of first-time voters as well as older voters were microtargeted with campaign messaging by parties and their affiliates, including frequent misinformation from unknown sources supporting one party or another. Filling a key gap in political communication research on election campaigns in digital India, the chapters in this book capture how political campaigning is important for the electoral fortunes of political parties in India’s diverse regions and states. This book will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners in political communication, public administration, and political consulting, as well as anyone interested in data-driven political campaigning. It will also be an invaluable reading for those interested in South Asian studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of South Asian History and Culture.
Book Synopsis The Troubling State of India's Democracy by : Dinsha Mistree
Download or read book The Troubling State of India's Democracy written by Dinsha Mistree and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As India’s power and prominence rise on the international stage, its longstanding tradition of democracy is under threat. Since establishing a secular and democratic constitution in 1950, India has held elections at the local, state, and national levels with frequent transitions of power between opposing parties. This commitment to democracy has provided political order to a country that is twice the size of Europe and with a stunning array of social and economic divides. Despite this rich tradition, India’s democracy faces an unprecedented threat with the rise of Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party, the Bharatiya Janata Party. After decisively winning general elections in 2014, Modi and the BJP have pursued a range of anti-democratic policies in which the state and society are used to undermine the opposition, to stifle free speech, and to harass religious minorities. The Troubling State of India’s Democracy brings together leading scholars from around the world to assess the conditions of India’s democracy across three important dimensions: politics, specifically the state of political parties and the party system; the state, including the condition of federalism and the health of various institutions; and society, including NGOs, ethnic and religious tensions, and control of the media. Even though elements of India’s democracy seem to function—like its commitment to elections—the contributors document a disturbing trajectory, one that not only threatens to undermine India’s own stability, but could also affect the global order.

Book Synopsis Signaling without Saying by : Robert Henderson
Download or read book Signaling without Saying written by Robert Henderson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signaling without Saying develops game-theoretic approaches to social meaning to model the phenomenon of dogwhistles, perhaps best known from political speech. These constructions involve language that sends one message to an out-group while at the same time sending a second-often taboo, controversial, or inflammatory-message to an in-group. Robert Henderson and Elin McCready show that dogwhistles should not be modeled in the same way as related language, like slurs, and nor should they be treated via standard Gricean implicatures computed over truth-conditional meaning; instead, they should be treated as primarily bearing social meaning, as understood by modern variationist sociolinguistic theories. The book identifies and models two different kinds of dogwhistle meaning, while also exploring a variety of related phenomena. The authors show how novel implicatures in the social meaning domain can arise when a listener detects a dogwhistle, and connect them to implicatures familiar in the truth-conditional domain. Social meaning, they argue, can be added to theories of trust in testimonial evidence, and dogwhistles can help to establish trust with an audience, even when expressing false propositions. The final chapter of the book looks at connections between dogwhistles and other issues important in epistemology and philosophy of language which might involve social meaning, such as standpoint theory.

Book Synopsis The Evolution of the Asian Developmental State by : J. J. Woo
Download or read book The Evolution of the Asian Developmental State written by J. J. Woo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many East Asian states have undergone profound economic transformations over the last two decades. Singapore and Hong Kong especially have adapted to shifting economic and technological conditions by transforming themselves into ‘smart developmental states’. In these cities, the proliferation of digital technologies has given rise to new growth sectors and opened up new areas of political contestation within these early proponents of the developmental state model. Providing a theoretical and empirical discussion of the Asian developmental state model, the book assesses the evolution of the developmental state model, considers recent developments in the field and evaluates the development state’s continued relevance as a conceptual framework for understanding the politics of economic development. Focusing on digital and technology-enabled economic activities in Hong Kong and Singapore, the author explores the various policies that allow developmental states to stimulate economic growth, ensure organizational coherence, and engage businesses and other stakeholders. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political economy and economic development in Asia as well as business professionals and other practitioners.

Book Synopsis Global Implications of Development, Disasters and Climate Change by : Susanna Price
Download or read book Global Implications of Development, Disasters and Climate Change written by Susanna Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Displacements in the Asia Pacific region are escalating. The region has for decades experienced more than half of the world’s natural disasters and, in recent years, a disproportionately high share of extreme weather-related disasters, which displaced 19 million people in 2013 alone. This volume offers an innovative and thought-provoking Asia-Pacific perspective on an intensifying global problem: the forced displacement of people from their land, homes, and livelihoods due to development, disasters and environmental change. This book draws together theoretical and multidisciplinary perspectives with diverse case studies from around the region – including China’s Three Gorges Reservoir, Japan’s Fukushima disaster, and the Pacific’s Banaba resettlement. Focusing on responses to displacement in the context of power asymmetries and questions of the public interest, the book highlights shared experiences of displacement, seeking new approaches and solutions that have potential global application. This book shows how displaced peoples respond to interlinked impacts that unravel their social fabric and productive bases, whether through sporadic protest, organised campaigns, empowered mobility or; even community-based negotiation of resettlement solutions. . The volume will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students in development studies, environmental and climate change studies, anthropology, sociology, human geography, international law and human rights.
Book Synopsis The Migration of Albanians from Montenegro and Kosovo to the United States by : Klement R. Camaj
Download or read book The Migration of Albanians from Montenegro and Kosovo to the United States written by Klement R. Camaj and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ways in which Albanian men, women, and families who have migrated from Montenegro and Kosovo to the United States understand and make sense of their mobility and settlement. Drawing on empirical research, including interview material, it goes beyond the experiences of individual migrants to explore the role that cultural identity has in shaping their mobility and immobility, with particular attention to the manner in which subjects talk about their experiences in terms of past and present movements and moments. An original storytelling study of the meaning, scope, and outcomes of mobility, and the construction of home and identity on the part of migrants, this title will appeal to scholars of sociology, geography, anthropology, and politics with interests in migration and diaspora.
Book Synopsis Principles and Applications of Adaptive Artificial Intelligence by : Lv, Zhihan
Download or read book Principles and Applications of Adaptive Artificial Intelligence written by Lv, Zhihan and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid adoption of deep learning models has resulted in many business services becoming model services, yet most AI systems lack the necessary automation and industrialization capabilities. This leads to heavy reliance on manual operation and maintenance, which not only consumes power but also causes resource wastage and stability issues during system mutations. The inadequate self-adaptation of AI systems poses significant challenges in terms of cost-effectiveness and operational stability. Principles and Applications of Adaptive Artificial Intelligence, edited by Zhihan Lv from Uppsala University, Sweden, offers a comprehensive solution to the self-adaptation problem in AI systems. It explores the latest concepts, technologies, and applications of Adaptive AI, equipping academic scholars and professionals with the necessary knowledge to overcome the challenges faced by traditional business logic transformed into model services. With its problem-solving approach, real-world case studies, and thorough analysis, the Handbook provides practitioners with practical ideas and solutions, while also serving as a valuable teaching material and reference guide for students and educators in AI-related disciplines. By emphasizing self-adaptation, continuous model iteration, and dynamic learning based on real-time feedback, the book empowers readers to significantly enhance the cost-effectiveness and operational stability of AI systems, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, professionals, and students seeking to revolutionize their research and applications in the field of Adaptive AI.
Book Synopsis Money Rules: Parties, Oligarchs and Funding Regulation in Post-Soviet Countries by : Fernando Casal Bértoa
Download or read book Money Rules: Parties, Oligarchs and Funding Regulation in Post-Soviet Countries written by Fernando Casal Bértoa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation of party finance in post-Soviet countries by leading academics and practitioners in the field. Through a series of cutting-edge chapters, using both original quantitative and qualitative data, it systematically sheds theoretical and empirical light on the way party funding regulation has evolved since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, as well as on the manner in which the legal regulation of party finances has had an impact (or not) on the evolution of party politics and democratic consolidation in the region. The book examines regulation in post-Soviet countries like Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia and Ukraine. In analysing the various dimensions of party funding regulation and their impact on political parties, party systems and democracy, it looks at the past and future, and makes recommendations on how legislation could be improved in order to further party development, party system stabilisation and democratic consolidation for all the countries in the region. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students, practitioners and journalists interested in political party finance and anti-corruption, and more broadly to political parties, democracy and democratic governance, and post-Soviet/Russian and East European politics.

Book Synopsis Service Automation in the Public Sector by : Gustaf Juell-Skielse
Download or read book Service Automation in the Public Sector written by Gustaf Juell-Skielse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume highlights the latest advances in and findings from research on service automation in public sector organizations. The contributing authors use a mix of social and technological approaches to increase readers’ understanding of public service automation. The respective chapters discuss the automation of services in public organizations from a conceptual standpoint, present empirical examples of automation applications in public organizations, and consider the implementation-related challenges that can arise. The book’s overall goal is to aid and inspire researchers and practitioners to expand their knowledge of service automation in public organizations, while also providing a foundation for policy development and future research. Following a brief introductory chapter, the book addresses major gaps in our current understanding of service automation in public organizations, and provides suggestions for future research. Moreover, it argues that there is a continued need to observe and learn from empirical examples, and a need for more critical studies on the social and societal consequences of increased service automation in public organizations.
Book Synopsis Deliberation, Representation, Equity by : Love Ekenberg
Download or read book Deliberation, Representation, Equity written by Love Ekenberg and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can we learn about the development of public interaction in e-democracy from a drama delivered by mobile headphones to an audience standing around a shopping center in a Stockholm suburb? In democratic societies there is widespread acknowledgment of the need to incorporate citizens' input in decision-making processes in more or less structured ways. But participatory decision making is balancing on the borders of inclusion, structure, precision and accuracy. To simply enable more participation will not yield enhanced democracy, and there is a clear need for more elaborated elicitation and decision analytical tools. This rigorous and thought-provoking volume draws on a stimulating variety of international case studies, from flood risk management in the Red River Delta of Vietnam, to the consideration of alternatives to gold mining in Roșia Montană in Transylvania, to the application of multi-criteria decision analysis in evaluating the impact of e-learning opportunities at Uganda's Makerere University. Editors Love Ekenberg (senior research scholar, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis [IIASA], Laxenburg, professor of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University), Karin Hansson (artist and research fellow, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University), Mats Danielson (vice president and professor of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University, affiliate researcher, IIASA) and GOran Cars (professor of Societal Planning and Environment, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) draw innovative collaborations between mathematics, social science, and the arts. They develop new problem formulations and solutions, with the aim of carrying decisions from agenda setting and problem awareness through to feasible courses of action by setting objectives, alternative generation, consequence assessments, and trade-off clarifications. As a result, this book is important new reading for decision makers in government, public administration and urban planning, as well as students and researchers in the fields of participatory democracy, urban planning, social policy, communication design, participatory art, decision theory, risk analysis and computer and systems sciences.
