Decoding Digital (Dis)Information Operations

States and societies are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-enabled information operations. From efforts to divide nations, undermine public policy, manipulate elections, and generate social discord, malign actors use the online realm to wreak havoc on our offline lives. In this book, we explore the digital disinformation dilemma that confronts liberal democracies, reflecting on shared socio-political challenges and solutions to contemporary information operations amongst the Five Eyes states and beyond. This book aims to generate a holistic human-centric perspective of the challenges of digital (dis)information operations by bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives from social science and humanities fields such as psychology, political science, law, sociology, international relations, security studies, and marketing. Together, these perspectives enable us to more effectively identify opportunities to address the challenge and increase the potential to enrich international collaborative efforts to safeguard liberal democracies from threats to their information environments.
