Internationalizing Social Media: The Case of 'Twiplomacy' in India and Russia
The borderless social media spheres have challenged the conventional concepts of national media systems and international communication theories. Unlike the traditional media outlets, social media could blur the intra/international boundaries across the world including India and Russia. Among a host of social media platforms, the 140-character based 'Twitter' has become the popular microblogging space among social and political spheres in these countries. While the common man to statesmen are now part of the so-called 'twitterati', this paper tries to explore how 'Twitter' is now widely used for political communications within and without national boundaries. Given the conceptual void in theorizing the national/international/global structure and style of social media, this paper compares the case of political/diplomatic use of 'Twitter' by two major countries from the so-called 'Global South' like India and Russia. more »

The paper tries to examine the nature and dimension of US-Pakistan relations since 2009 against the backdrop of the ongoing war against the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. more »
