Local Government and Citizen Engagement in Environmental Activism in Spanish and English Cities

Conference posterEnvironmental issues have played a part in citizens’ concerns and protests and these issues have played a greater role in political agendas (Levy and Zint, 2013; Dalton, Recchia and Rohrschneider, 2003). As result, grassroots community resistance emerged in response to practices, policies, and conditions that residents have judged to be unfair or illegal (Bullard and Johnson, 2000, p.557). Following the approach of issues management and environmental activism, and considering public relations as a social activity (Ihlen, Fredriksson & van Ruler, 2009), we will investigate if local governments are using issues management “to reduce friction and increase harmony between organisations and their publics” (Heath, 2005, p.460) and how public relations are empowering and engaging citizens to play an active role in their cities' destiny.Universidad de Málaga.

The Rise of Mobile and the Diffusion of Technology-Facilitated Trafficking

In this report, researchers at the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy (CCLP) reveal how those involved in human trafficking have been quick to adapt to the 21st-century global landscape. While the rapid diffusion of digital technologies such as mobile phones, social networking sites, and the Internet has provided significant benefits to society, new channels and opportunities for exploitation have also emerged. Increasingly, the business of human trafficking is taking place online and over mobile phones. But the same technologies that are being used for trafficking can become a powerful tool to combat trafficking. The precise role that digital technologies play in human trafficking still remains unclear, however, and a closer examination of the phenomenon is vital to identify and respond to new threats and opportunities.This investigation indicates that mobile devices and networks have risen in prominence and are now of central importance to the sex trafficking of minors in the United States. While online platforms such as online classifieds and social networking sites remain a potential venue for exploitation, this research suggests that technology facilitated trafficking is more diffuse and adaptive than initially thought. This report presents a review of current literature, trends, and policies; primary research based on mobile phone data collected from online classified sites; a series of firsthand interviews with law enforcement; and key recommendations to policymakers and stakeholders moving forward

Wacana Lingkungan dalam Gerakan Sosial Digital

Tulisan ini mendiskusikan salah satu bentuk dari pergerakan sosial baru (new social movement), yaitu petisi online. Gerakan sosial ini ditandai dengan penggunaan teknologi Internet sebagai alat perjuangan yang utama. Secara khusus, penulis memilih untuk mengelaborasi situs Change.org sebagai situs yang menyediakan platform petisi online. Melalui situs tersebut, setiap orang dapat mengumpulkan tanda tangan secara digital sebanyak mungkin guna mendukung perjuangan mereka. Tanda tangan yang telah terkumpul tersebut lalu diberikan kepada pihak-pihak terkait, baik pelaku maupun pengambil kebijakan, untuk menyelesaikan persoalan publik yang mereka tuntutkan.
