This book provides a much-needed critical exploration of digital media interventions in Southeast Asia, while adopting a decolonial perspective to address issues such as digital inequality, mistrust, and the manipulation of digital spaces. By emphasizing State-society initiatives that foster connective responsibility and collective resilience, it engages with original concepts such as rhizomorphic publics, digital media ecovillages, and digital sociocracy to challenge conventional power structures, offering new models and frameworks for collaboration and participatory governance. Through case studies, the book introduces the Southeast Asia DE-FINED (De-colonial Framework for Inclusive Networking, Engagement and Dialogue) framework and demonstrates how societies in this region can reshape digital landscapes, regenerate communities, and foster equitable governance, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists engaged in Southeast Asia's digital transformation.
