- Inhalt
- Almost half of the world is connected to the Internet. At the same time
almost half of the countries on the planet are governed by some sort of
autocratic regime. This raises the question how people in autocratic regimes
can use digital media to contest governments and how governments can use
digital media to control publics. In this seminar, we will learn how autocratic
regimes treat groups and individuals enabled by digital media. Particularly,
we will focus on social media websites and platforms that provide users
with facilities to share messages and other content, organize groups, and
propagate information for political expression and action. We will explore
the agency of platforms, and their mediating role between citizens and their
autocratic governments. Finally, we will study research on the Arab Spring
(2011), China, and Russia. These cases will guide participants in their group
projects exploring understudied countries that are already under autocratic
regimes or presently experiencing autocratization.
Learning Objectives
• To learn about the effects of the Internet on political outcomes.
• To understand the current research on the process of autocratization/
democratization accompanied by increasing digitalization of the
daily life.
• To learn about practices of control and resistance observed in digital
spaces.
• To learn how to critically engage academic literature on political science
and communication for personal research projects.
