The Digital Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Information Technology and Political Islam - Oxford Studies in Digital Politics
Howard, Philip N. (Associate Professor of Communication, Associate Professor of Communication, University of Washington)
This book looks at the role that communications technologies play in advancing democratic transitions in Muslim countries. As such, its central question is whether technology holds the potential to substantially enhance democracy. Certainly, no democratic transition has occurred solely because of the internet. But, as Philip Howard argues, no democratic transition can occur today without the internet. Drawing upon material from interviews with telecommunicationspolicy makers and activists in Azerbaijan, Egypt, Tajikistan and Tanzania and a comparative study of 74 countries with large Muslim populations, Howard demonstrates that these forums have been the means to organize activist movements that have lead to successful democratic insurgencies.
