      abstract = {This book discusses post-truth not merely as a Western  issue, but as a problematic political and cultural  condition with global ramifications. By locating the roots  of the phenomenon in the trust crisis suffered by liberal  democracy and its institutions, the book argues that  post-truth serves as a space for ideological conflicts and  geopolitical power struggles that are reshaping the world  order. The era of post-truth politics is thus here to stay,  and its reach is increasingly global: Russian trolls  organizing events on social media attended by thousands of  unaware American citizens; European social media users  spreading fictional political narratives in support of the  Syrian regime; Facebook offering a platform for a  harassment campaign by Buddhist ultranationalists in  Myanmar that led to the killing of thousands of Muslims.  These are just some of the examples that demonstrate the  dangerous effects of the Internet-driven global diffusion  of disinformation and misinformation. Grounded on a  theoretical framework yet written in an engaging and  accessible way, this timely book is a valuable resource for  students, researchers, policymakers and citizens concerned  with the impact of social media on politics.
