{"product_id":"constitutionalising-social-media-9781509953745","title":"Constitutionalising Social Media","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores to what extent constitutional principles are put under strain in the social media environment, and how constitutional safeguards can be established for the actors and processes that govern this world: in other words, how to constitutionalise social media.   Millions of individuals around the world use social media to exercise a broad range of fundamental rights. However, the governance of online platforms may pose significant threats to our constitutional guarantees. The chapters in this book bring together a multi-disciplinary group of experts from law, political science, and communication studies to examine the challenges of constitutionalising what today can be considered the modern public square.   The book analyses the ways in which online platforms exercise a sovereign authority within their digital realms, and sheds light on the ambiguous relationship between social media platforms and state regulators. The chapters critically examine multiple methods of constitutionalising social media, arguing that the constitutional response to the global challenges generated by social media is necessarily plural and multilevel. All topics are presented in an accessible way, appealing to scholars and students in the fields of law, political science and communication studies.   The book is an essential guide to understanding how to preserve constitutional safeguards in the social media environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eEdoardo Celeste (Dublin City University, Ireland), Amélie Heldt (Leibniz Institute for Media Research, Germany) and Clara Iglesias Keller (WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Germany) \u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePART 1\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eSOCIAL MEDIA AS A MODERN PUBLIC SQUARE\u003c\/b\u003e 2. \u003ci\u003eSocial Media and Protest: Contextualising the Affordances of Networked Publics \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eTetyana Lokot (Dublin City University, Ireland) \u003c\/b\u003e 3. \u003ci\u003eThe Rise of Social Media in the Middle East and North Africa: A Tool of Resistance or Repression? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmy Kristin Sanders \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e(University of Texas at Austin, USA)\u003c\/b\u003e 4. \u003ci\u003eLegal Framings in Networked Public Spheres: The Case of Search and Rescue in the Mediterranean \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eVeronica Corcodel (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal) \u003c\/b\u003e 5. \u003ci\u003eSocial Media and the News Industry \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlessio Cornia (Dublin City University, Ireland) \u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003e PART 2 FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND PLATFORMS’ GOVERNANCE\u003c\/b\u003e 6. \u003ci\u003eStructural Power as a Critical Element of Social Media Platforms’ Private Sovereignty \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eLuca Belli (FGV Direito Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) \u003c\/b\u003e 7. \u003ci\u003eNo Place for Women: Gaps and Challenges in Promoting Equality on Social Media \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eMariana Valente (University of St Gallen, Switzerland) \u003c\/b\u003e 8. \u003ci\u003eSocial Media, Electoral Campaigns and Regulation of Hybrid Political Communication: Rethinking Communication Rights \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eEugenia Siapera and Niamh Kirk (both at University College Dublin, Ireland) \u003c\/b\u003e 9. \u003ci\u003eData Protection Law: Constituting an Effective Framework for Social Media? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eMoritz Hennemann (Universität Passau, Germany) \u003c\/b\u003e   \u003cb\u003ePART 3 STATES AND SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATION\u003c\/b\u003e 10. \u003ci\u003eRegulatory Shift in State Intervention: From Intermediary Liability to Responsibility \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eGiancarlo Frosio (Queen's University Belfast, UK) \u003c\/b\u003e 11. \u003ci\u003eGovernment–Platform Synergy and its Perils \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eNiva Elkin-Koren (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) \u003c\/b\u003e 12. \u003ci\u003eSocial Media and State Surveillance in China: The Interplay between Authorities, Businesses and Citizens \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eYuner Zhu (City University of Hong Kong) \u003c\/b\u003e 13. \u003ci\u003eThe Perks of Co-Regulation: An Institutional Arrangement for Social Media Regulation? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eClara Iglesias Keller (WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Germany)\u003c\/b\u003e   \u003cb\u003ePART 4 CONSTITUTIONALISING SOCIAL MEDIA\u003c\/b\u003e 14. \u003ci\u003eChanging the Normative Order of Social Media from Within: Supervisory Bodies \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eWolfgang Schulz (Leibniz-Institute for Media Research, Germany) \u003c\/b\u003e 15. \u003ci\u003eContent Moderation by Social Media Platforms: The Importance of Judicial Review \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmélie P Heldt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e (Leibniz-Institute for Media Research, Germany)\u003c\/b\u003e 16. \u003ci\u003eDigital Constitutionalism: In Search of a Content Governance Standard \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eEdoardo Celeste (Dublin City University, Ireland), Nicola Palladino (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland), Dennis Redeker (University of Bremen, Germany) and Kinfe Yilma (Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia) \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742586011991,"sku":"9781509953745","price":40.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781509953745.jpg?v=1758385433","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/constitutionalising-social-media-9781509953745","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
