Covering three chronological but overlapping periods spanning from the 1990s to the early 2020s, it presents a historical periodisation that follows technological shifts \u2013 notably from the static Internet to blogging to social media \u2013 and the political ramifications of these shifts in civil society activism. The chapter highlights the ambivalent role of digital media as space and platform for civic engagement and mobilisation and as an exponent of polarisation, radicalisation, and manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire book, consists of 21 interesting chapters, is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/books\/oa-edit\/10.4324\/9780367422080\/routledge-handbook-civil-uncivil-society-southeast-asia-eva-hansson-meredith-weiss?refId=e1ca9c28-8365-4ef3-8e50-f86a309c8770&amp;context=ubx\">online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just published: Lim, M.
