Hate Speech, Political Correctness, and Cancel Culture critically examines the challenges posed by modern discourse in democratic societies. It explores the intersection of hate speech, political correctness, cancel culture, and disinformation, and offers a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective on their ethical, legal, and societal implications.
Delving into the complexities of contemporary communication, the book addresses pressing issues such as the rise of cancel culture, the evolution of political correctness, and the proliferation of disinformation and fake news in the digital age. It investigates how these phenomena impact freedom of speech, democratic values and social ethics, while also exploring their influence on identity politics, public opinion, polarization and the integrity of democratic elections. With contributions from leading scholars from a range of academic and geographical backgrounds, the book provides critical insights into topics like antisemitism, hate speech targeting refugees, judicial stereotyping, online speech, and the regulation of AI-driven disinformation. Through case studies, theoretical analysis, and comparative perspectives, it offers practical solutions for navigating the challenges of misinformation, fostering inclusivity, and balancing freedom of expression with communal responsibilities.
Hate Speech, Political Correctness, and Cancel Culture is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand how modern discourse shapes public life in the digital era. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of politics, philosophy and ethics, media and communication studies, and law. Policymakers and professionals involved in regulating online platforms will also find its discussions on disinformation and technological control highly relevant.

This edited volume provides a forum for critical debate on the concept of reglobalization from different political science perspectives. Using an innovative multifaceted approach, the volume opens a pluralistic dialogue on the concept of increased international cooperation and its implications for the major challenges facing the global economy.
This book is organized into four parts. Chapters in Part I explore the conceptualization and scope of reglobalization within political science and its subfields. Chapters in Part II approach reglobalization from the perspective of international relations; questioning the rules based international order, regional approaches, and challenges for democratization and security. Chapters in Part III discuss technology, development, and futures issues. The last Part focuses on the human aspect of reglobalization, addressing human rights, climate change, security, migration, and citizenship.
An inclusive gathering of scholars of politics and international relations, this volume will be of use to researchers and students broadly interested in human rights, regional and comparative studies, governance, democracy, gender, political communication, development, geopolitics, security, migration and citizenship, climate security, and planetary politics.
