The Doorstep: Celebrity Politics and Soft Power, with Brandon Valeriano

Celebrity and social media are changing the political game globally. Next year, 2024, will see more than 40 national elections from the U.S. to Mexico, India, Russia, and Taiwan; meanwhile 27 European Union nations will vote for 720 European Parliament seats. Seton Hall University's Dr. Brandon Valeriano joins "Doorstep" co-hosts Tatiana Serafin and Nikolas Gvosdev to discuss the resurgence of soft power and what that means for both domestic and foreign policy. How will Taylor Swift, BTS, and Bad Bunny reshape our discussion of international affairs and social issues? What cybersecurity threats do we need to address as Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok take over the information space?
