Opposing Democracy in the Digital Age is about why ordinary people
in a democratizing state oppose democracy and how they leverage
both traditional and social media to do so. Aim Sinpeng focuses on
the people behind popular, large-scale anti-democratic movements
that helped bring down democracy in 2006 and 2014 in Thailand. The
yellow shirts (PAD-People's Alliance for Democracy) that are the
focus of the book are anti-democratic movements grown out of
democratic periods in Thailand, but became the catalyst for the
country's democratic breakdown. Why, when, and how supporters of
these movements mobilize offline and online to bring down democracy
are some of the key questions that Sinpeng answers. While the book
primarily uses a qualitative methodological approach, it also uses
several quantitative tools to analyze social media data in the
later chapters. This is also one of the few studies in the field of
regime transition that focuses on anti-democratic mobilization and
takes the role of social media seriously.
