Routledge Digital Platforms, Imperialism and Political Culture

Explore the changing landscape of the twenty-first century with Digital Platforms, Imperialism and Political Culture. This Routledge publication examines how digital platforms influence capital accumulation and digital culture in our networked world. As major digital media intermediaries, platforms like social network sites, search engines, and smartphones have changed how information and power are distributed globally. This book looks at the rise of emerging companies in non-Western countries that have built unique platforms to control national markets. It examines the competition between these new players and established Western-based platform empires. Readers will gain a better understanding of how these digital tools function as intermediaries and the impact they have on global markets and political culture. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of technology, economy, and society.
