520    "This book explores the challenges that disinformation, 
       fake news and post-truth politics pose to democracy from a
       multidisciplinary perspective. The authors analyse and 
       interpret how the use of technology and social media as 
       well as the emergence of new political narratives has been
       progressively changing the information landscape, 
       undermining some of the pillars of democracy. The volume 
       sheds light on some topical questions connected to fake 
       news, thereby contributing to a fuller understanding of 
       its impact on democracy. In the Introduction, the editors 
       offer some orientating definitions of post-truth politics,
       building a theoretical framework where various different 
       aspects of fake news can be understood. The book is then 
       divided into three parts: Part I helps to contextualise 
       the phenomena investigated, offering definitions and 
       discussing key concepts as well as aspects linked to the 
       manipulation of information systems, especially 
       considering its reverberation on democracy. Part II 
       considers the phenomena of disinformation, fake news and 
       post-truth politics in the context of Russia, which 
       emerges as a laboratory where the phases of creation and 
       diffusion of fake news can be broken down and analysed; 
       consequently, Part II also reflects on the ways to 
       counteract disinformation and fake news. Part III moves 
       from case studies in Western and Central Europe to reflect
       on the methodological difficulty of investigating 
       disinformation, as well as tackling the very delicate 
       question of detection, combat and prevention of fake news.
       This book will be of great interest to students and 
       scholars of political science, law, political philosophy, 
       journalism, media studies, and computer science, since it 
       provides a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of 
       post-truth politics"--|cProvided by publisher.
