The book consists of theoretical approaches to disinformation in memory politics, describes the mechanisms and actors of disinformation, and finally suggests possible ways of prevention.

In recent years, numerous examples of falsification of history by previous and recent memory politics and historical diplomacy have come up. Over time, and by means of the internet and various social media, historical revisionism has had a growing impact on society and collective memory. The book has chapters written by renowned historians, experts in political studies, as well as communications and discourse analysis experts to write in-depth analysis of propaganda in the field of memory politics. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical approaches to disinformation in memory politics. The authors present main fields of study as exemplified by various discussions on the essence of truth, especially within memory studies, propaganda and media as well as the main problems related to current memory politics. The second part is devoted to the current mechanisms and actors of disinformation by showcasing some case studies. The last part presents possible ways of prevention and focuses on education, legal approach and memory laws.

Disinformation in Memory Politics will be of importance to researchers and academics, as well as journalists and to students from the fields of political science, history, international relations, communication studies, and diplomacy.
