title = {Leveraging the Voices of Social Media for Peace and Security},
year = {2016},
note = {Social media have the power to unite people in common causes. At the
same time, social media can highlight divides among people and
influence conflict. This paper explores the latest techniques being
used to mine social media data to discover trends in public
discontent, terrorist messaging, and conflict prevention. Techniques
being used to explore social networking on the Dark Web are also
discussed. The field of conflict management needs more of such
innovation for tapping into the voices of social media. The
conversation is too often one-directional, missing out on
opportunities to use the strengths of social media to reach more
people, hear more voices, and build lasting peace through meaningful
dialog.},
