I am pleased to announce the publication of my new article entitled 'Visible wars, forgotten wars and world order. Media attention, cognitive competition and global response'.
The article has been published online by OBSERVARE. Observatório de Relações Exteriores and will appear in issue 24 of the Janus Yearbook, available in both print and free downloadable PDF format from the yearbook’s website.
The essay examines how the contemporary information environment intensifies competition for salience, widening the gap between what happens and what becomes visible. The unequal visibility of armed conflicts reveals a hierarchy of attention that is neither accidental nor politically neutral. Attention has material effects, affecting the behaviour of actors inside conflict zones and producing significant international consequences. The work offers a reflection on the role of visibility as a strategic resource in international relations and its implications for global order.
