Main conference themes: digital participation, social media weaponization, campaigning, populism, civic engagement, e-government, smart cities.
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the organizers have decided to hold CeDEM Asia 2020 in a new format with several changes.
CeDEM Asia will be hosted in Singapore as a one-day event in late October 2021, as the conference will join with the Asian Conference for Political Communication.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you in Singapore in 2021!

The past decade has seen the rise of how the Web is being weaponised: disinformation campaigns to subvert democracy and manipulate public opinions, the flow of information through firewalls and shutdown of targeted sites and applications, surveillance and profiling, and online nudges which has been linked to the radicalisation in certain contexts. Presentations in this track seek to address one or more of the following:
Track Chairs: Robert Krimmer, Yueping Zheng, Gabriela Viale Pereira
