POLITICAL TECHNOLOGY - ANDREW WILSON TASCHENBUCH

'Political technology' is a Russian term for the professional engineering of politics. It has
turned Russian politics into theatre and propaganda  and metastasised to take over foreign
policy and weaponise history. The war against Ukraine is one outcome. In the West  spin doctors
and political consultants do more than influence media or run campaigns: they have also helped
build parallel universes of alternative political reality. Hungary has used political
technology to dismantle democracy. The BJP in India has used it to consolidate unprecedented
power. Different countries learn from each other. Some types of political technology have
become notorious  like troll farms or data mining  but there is now a global wholesale industry
selling a range of manipulation techniques  from astroturfing to fake parties to propaganda
apps. This book shows that 'political technology' is about much more than online
disinformation: it is about whole new industries of political engineering.
