Political Sociology at the Edge: Resilience, Resistance, and the Rise of Authoritarianism

Abstract

This panel examines how the global information disorder—misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories—interacts with digital infrastructures to reshape political power, public trust, and social cohesion across regions. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, it explores emerging challenges and governance responses in an era of platformization, AI-driven content, and transnational information flows.
