Conflict, Peace and Security

Navigating The Digital Battlefield: Leveraging Social Media in Myanmar, Central America and Tunisia

This project unpacks the multifaceted impact of social media on conflict dynamics and diplomatic engagement. The primary objective is to investigate the dual nature of social media—acting both as a catalyst for violence and a facilitator of diplomatic dialogue, especially concerning migration-related conflicts. The project examines the role of social media by grounding it through expert interviews in three different contexts: Tunisia, Myanmar, and Central America. Embracing a constructivist approach, the report uncovers, reconstructs, and refines theoretical frameworks and practical insights.
