After the end of the Cold War, the world experienced fundamental changes in the international arena. The fall of the Eastern Bloc and the triumph of Western values led to a loosening of control and revealed previously suppressed processes and phenomena. Capitalism, globalization, and the information and communication revolution have shrunk the world, strengthening the role of the media and their influence on society. Society, although often only seemingly, has become more oriented and interested in global events.

With the renewal of universal values and principles, a global civil society developed, based on Western patterns, promoting democracy, neoliberalism, and the free market. In this context, the phenomenon of celebrity culture emerged, symptomatic of social changes in the West and in other parts of the world. For some, celebrities symbolize the decline of culture, for others they are an expression of the democratization of social life. Regardless of the assessment, their role and importance have increased both in internal and international contexts.

Nowadays, influential celebrities such as Bono or Angelina Jolie have become important actors in international relations. Their involvement in social, humanitarian, and political issues attracts media attention and influences political decisions. This book analyzes these phenomena, offering an in-depth look at the role of celebrities in shaping the modern world.
