Overview

Social media has fundamentally changed activism and advocacy by allowing those with lesser privilege to make their voices known and influence change within their countries. However, the effects of social media and digital communications remain woefully understudied in the domains of trade unionism and transnational advocacy. Only by studying these phenomena more deeply and thoroughly can we understand fully the capabilities of digital activism. Global Perspectives on Social Media Communications, Trade Unionism, and Transnational Advocacy is an essential publication that examines the role of social media in trade unionism as well as the neo- and postmodern facets of digital activism and theorizes on their future. Additionally, the book explores the contribution of digital activism to the trans-nationalization or globalization of major economic and socio-political movements and looks at the potential of digital activism to effectively engender social and political change in the world. Covering a broad range of topics including geopolitics, internet censorship, and human rights protection, this book is ideally designed for government officials, policymakers, international relations experts, politicians, media practitioners, public officials, researchers, academicians, and students.
