This yearly conference is held by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Airlangga (Unair), Indonesia. It is part of our university’s strong com- mitment to foster academic discussions and increase scholarly publications in the field of social and political studies. This year’s conference theme is “Empowerment and Impairment in the Global Dig- ital Age”. The advancement of digital information technologies, with the Internet as its catalyst, has been known to accelerate the pace of global integration. McLuhan believed that the technological force will eventually create ‘a global village’. Other scholar claimed that the development of communication technologies has driven the industrial society towards the so-called ‘information society’, where opportu- nities and power belong to those having access to information. Further, it has also been argued that the development of digital information technologies has led our society to the post-truth era where facts, myths and lies collide. These developments demand our critical attention to uncover: how has digital information technologies actually altered the struggle of power in various societ- ies? How has the technological force facilitated the emergence of a new source of power? Who have been actually benefited? And Who have been disadvantaged? We are fortunate that in this year conference we have reputable scholars to share and discuss their critical insights on how globalization and digital information tech- nologies have impacted our societies. Prof. Ronald A Lukens-Bull from The Uni- versity of North Florida, will discuss the issue of “Digital Religion, Fanaticism and Terrorism” in today society. Subsequently, A/Prof. Cheryll Ruth Soriano from De La Salle University, will present her study about “Digital Labour Solidarity” in South- east Asia. Next, we will have Prof. Ariel Heryanto FAHA from Monash University to deliver a talk about “Social Media and Identity politics in Indonesia”. Finally, representing the Indonesian government, Prof. Henry Subiakto as an Advisor to the Minister of Communication and Informatics will offer a debate titled “The Indo- nesian Communication Policies: Empower or Impaired Democracy”. 4th International Conference on Contemporary Social and Political Affairs 1 Surabaya, August 13-14th 2018 | Airlangga University - Surabaya, Indonesia We are pleased that this year we had significant number of paper submissions concerning the issue of digital democracy and cyber populism. Indeed, with 2018 as a “political year” for the Indonesian society, this topic has a significant relevance. Besides that, we also had inspiring papers concerning the impacts of globalization and digital technologies on education, local development and the empowerment of marginalized communities. We would like to thank to Universitas Airlangga and the Faculty of Social and Polit- ical Sciences for the financial support to the conference. We would like to give our thank to our fellow conference committee members, including lecturers, students and technical staff, who have selflessly given their commitment, time and effort to support the conference. Finally, we realise a number of you have travelled far to participate in this confer- ence. Despite Indonesian academics, we have among us today scholars from the US, Phillipines, Australia and so on. We hope ICoCSPA 2018 one-day conference will bring to you diverse and inspiring academic insights, as well as enhancing your academic networking. And if you decided to stay one or two-days longer in Surabaya, we also hope that you enjoy everything that this lively city has to offer you. Welcome! ICoCSPA President 2018 Titik Puji Rahayu, S.Sos.

Lukens-Bull, PhD University of North Florida At first glance, the world today looks very different than it did 10,15, or 20 years ago. Communication is faster and cheaper. Media is cheaper to produce and distribute. Logistics can be worked out quickly with just a text message. Extreme religion seems to be on the rise and with it religious violence. It might appear that the explosion of digital media and communication is related to increases religious violence, or at the very least has changed its nature. This is an empirical question. This presentation will explore the contours of potential research on this topic and the ways in which the digital world has and hasn’t change the way religious ideas, communities, and learning are constructed and conducted. It will give an overview of the operationalization of key concepts, key methods, and core theoretical ap- proaches for such a project. 4th International Conference on Contemporary Social and Political Affairs 7 Surabaya, August 13-14th 2018 | Airlangga University - Surabaya, Indonesia Biography Lukens-Bull has written significant works on the Anthropology of Islam.
