Abstract [en]
Democracy as an experience of political organization is today undergoing multiple external attacks, and is the object of many internal criticisms. In this regard, one can imagine a City besieged by centrifugal forces, not least of which is the rise of the phenomenon of disinformation. There are many cities, like Kyiv or Dubrovnik, which are or have in the past been the target of disinformation campaigns that preceded and accompanied the assault of which they were the victims. Therefore, it seems necessary to review who are the actors and the vectors of disinformation today, to then examine who are the main targets and victims. Ultimately, this communication, in addition to the description of the phenomenon itself, also aims to review the responses that are provided by public actors to combat this scourge threatening the proper functioning of democratic deliberation.
Abstract [hr]
Demokracija, kao iskustvo političke organizacije, danas je suočena s brojnim vanjskim napadima i predmet je mnogih unutarnjih kritika. U tom kontekstu možemo zamisliti sliku grada opkoljenog centrifugalnim silama, pri čemu jedna od njih nije zanemariva – porast fenomena dezinformacija. Brojni gradovi, poput Kijeva ili Dubrovnika, bili su ili su još uvijek meta kampanja dezinformacija koje su prethodile i pratile napade čije su žrtve postali. Stoga se čini nužnim preispitati tko su današnji akteri i vektori dezinformacija, a zatim analizirati tko su njihove glavne mete i žrtve. Konačno, ovaj rad, osim opisa samog fenomena, ima cilj razmotriti i odgovore javnih aktera na ovu pošast koja ugrožava pravilno funkcioniranje demokratske deliberacije.
