Defending Democracies: Combating Foreign Election Interference in a Digital Age – PDF

Foreign interference in elections is a critical and longstanding concern, but with the advent of information and communication technologies, it has become a more pressing problem. The unprecedented ability to use malwares, disinformation, misinformation, algorithms, closed social media platforms, and Twitter bots to influence and manipulate elections has made it more challenging to protect democracy. The infamous Russian interference in the 2016 US Presidential Election was just one example of how severe and real the threat is. To address this concern more holistically, Defending Democracies: Combating Foreign Election Interference in a Digital Age (PDF) takes an interdisciplinary approach to provide actionable solutions to combat foreign election interference. The book has three main areas of focus; the first is defining the issue of election interference by foreign countries and their proxies. Second, the book highlights the solutions that international law might bring to the table, and third, it explores alternative regulatory frameworks that can prevent foreign election interference. The thought-provoking insights shared in this book help to create a much-needed conversation that crosses conventional disciplinary boundaries and proposes innovative solutions. The authors have highlighted several alternative solutions, both domestic and international, to successfully combat foreign election interference. The book also provides a comprehensive overview of electoral law from a domestic and international perspective, allowing readers to understand the legal framework explicitly designed to address these issues.
