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.
