<p class="" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51)">More than three years
have passed since the 2010 release of U.S. embassy diplomatic cables that
propelled the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks into the international
spotlight. Alongside its many other political revelations, including the Afghan
War Diaries, the Iraq War Logs, information exposing government corruption,
illegal corporate activity and the secret dealings of the financial industry,
WikiLeaks Cablegate publication sparked intense debate in the realms of
international diplomacy, journalism, and broader society about the conduct and
representation of modern politics.<br>
<br>
Now we are seeing WikiLeaks’ continued evolution from an international platform
for political disclosure to an international political movement, including the
launch of the Australian political party. Given its remarkable persistence in
the face of continued legal and economic challenges what lessons does WikiLeaks
represent for activism, social justice movements, policy and democracy?<br>
<br>
To reflect on this question this event will bring together a select group of
scholars who have observed the WikiLeaks phenomenon since its early days,
together with the editors of a new edited volume, <i>BeyondWikiLeaks:
Implications for the Future of Communications, Journalism and Society</i>,
published by Palgrave in March.</span></p>
