Covid conspiracy theories have attracted considerable attention from researchers, journalists, and politicians, not least because conspiracy beliefs have the potential to negatively affect adherence to public health measures. While most of this focus has been on the US and Western Europe, this collection provides a unique global perspective on the emergence and development of conspiracy theories through a series of case studies. The chapters have been commissioned by recognised experts on area studies and conspiracy theories. The chapters present case studies on how Covid conspiracism has played out (some focused on a single country, others on regions), using a range of methods from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including history, politics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology. Collectively, the authors reveal that, although there are many narratives that have spread virally, they have been adapted for different uses and take on different meanings in local contexts. This volume makes an important contribution to the rapidly expanding field of academic conspiracy theory studies, as well as being of interest to those working in the media, regulatory agencies, and civil society organisations, who seek to better understand the problem of how and why conspiracy theories spread"-- Provided by publisher. 606 $aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-2023 615 0$aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-2023. 686 $aHEA050000$aPOL010000$aSOC058000$2bisacsh 700 $aButter$b Michael$01156366 702 $aKnight$b Peter$f1968- 702 $aButter$b Michael 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645959903321 996 $aCovid Conspiracy Theories in Global Perspective$94287371 997 $aUNINA
