Description: China and the Internet by Song Shi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Analyses how Chinese activists, NGOs, and government offices have used the Internet to fight rural malnutrition, the digital divide, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other urgent problems affecting millions of people. The book presents five theoretically-informed case studies of how new media have been used for development and social change. Publisher Description Two oversimplified narratives have long dominated news reports and academic studies of Chinas Internet: one lauding its potentials to boost commerce, the other bemoaning state control and measures against the forces of political transformations. This bifurcation obscures the complexity of the dynamic forces operating on the Chinese Internet and the diversity of Internet-related phenomena. China and the Internet analyzes how Chinese activists, NGOs, and government offices have used the Internet to fight rural malnutrition, the digital divide, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other urgent problems affecting millions of people. It presents five theoretically-informed case studies of how new media have been used in interventions for development and social change, including how activists battled against COVID-19. In addition, this book applies a Communication for Development approach to examine the use and impact of Chinas Internet. Although it is widely used internationally in Internet studies, Communication for Development has not been rigorously applied in studies of Chinas Internet. This approach offers a new perspective to examine the Internet and related phenomena in Chinese society.
