Can social media trigger nuclear war? In our “post-truth” era of bots, trolls, and intemperate presidential tweets, popular social platforms provide a growing medium for manipulation of information directed to individuals, institutions, and global leaders. Targeted influence campaigns have been waged in at least forty-eight countries so far. This volume examines the current reality from a variety of angles, considering how digital misinformation might affect the likelihood of international conflict and how it might influence the perceptions and actions of leaders and their publics before and during a crisis.
  • Examine the impact of social media on nuclear conflict risk
  • Minimize miscalculation and misperception in crisis decision-making
  • Counter the manipulation of information in the global information ecosystem
The authors sound the alarm about how social media fuels information overload and promotes “fast thinking” over deliberation, with potentially catastrophic results for nuclear powers in times of conflict. This volume is the culmination of two multidisciplinary workshops produced in partnership between the Stanley Center for Peace and Security, the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and the Center for International Security and Cooperation. For policy makers, security experts, and anyone concerned about global stability.
