Dr. Ewen argues that the advent of the internet and social media has radically transformed the flow of information, making it more democratic and accessible to people across different continents. This democratization of information has, in turn, empowered individuals and non-state actors, enabling them to play a more significant role in the international arena. The book illustrates how these changes are challenging the conventional notions of sovereignty and control that nations have traditionally held, forcing a reevaluation of how power is understood and wielded on the global stage.
