This book explores in detail new protest organisation and
mobilisation strategies of young activists in the digital age with
the aim to identify the tactics that worked well against those
creating high risks in the context of digitally supported protests.
Focusing on Egyptian protests as well as peaceful protests in
Syria, the book offers rich and unique data as it brings together
the experiences and voices of the key figures involved in the
protests, both on the ground and online. It challenges perspectives
that defined the Arab uprisings as leaderless movements formed
through the non-hierarchical communication of digital technologies.
The author presents three kinds of leaders that shape the political
communication environment in digitally supported protests and
highlights the significance of their leadership skills to the
movements' capacities.
