If lies and disinformation are the arsenal in a propaganda war, story and dramatization are the weaponry, and gaining advantage is all about the design and impact of the weapons. Twisted plot lines, arcs of suspense, motivated actors: these have so much more destructive power against human intelligence than specific falsehoods. The chapters focus on prominent narrative influences in the political arena, illustrating how the dynamics of public communication draw on traditions of fantasy, myth, plotting, performance and dramaturgy. Attention is paid to the ideologies and theoretical paradigms that underpin these imaginative constructions and drive them towards electoral goals. In the geopolitical maelstrom of the 21st century, we are citizens of the world in a new way, and our opinions, collectively, count. Sharper awareness of why and how we participate in the spread of imaginative manipulation is urgently needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-08-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032276117\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47757053231244,"sku":"9783032276117","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032276117","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
