They are strategically disorienting. Drawing from insights from propaganda theory, cognitive psychology, media studies, and political strategy, author J.W. Bouckaert introduces a progressive new concept: strategic chaos as governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough telling case studies—including Donald Trump’s second presidency, Bolsonaro’s digital populism, and Modi’s media machine—Bouckaert examines how contradiction, emotional priming, and algorithmic amplification are used not to inform citizens but to overwhelm them. At the heart of the book is the groundbreaking FTSeffect formula, a new model that quantifies the impact of saturation-based political messaging in real time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessible yet rigorously researched, \u003ci\u003eFlooding the Space\u003c\/i\u003e offers more than a critique—it provides a toolkit. With frameworks for journalists, researchers, policymakers, and citizens alike, the book shows how to recognize, measure, and respond to communicative destabilization before it takes hold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you’ve ever felt the public conversation is being hijacked or that facts no longer matter, this book explains why. More importantly, it shows how democracies can fight back.","brand":"Prometheus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48218680328447,"sku":"9781493095452","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781493095452_s600x595.jpg?v=1777991208","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781493095452","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
