This book investigates the impact of internet use on
anti-government protesting under authoritarian rule. By breaking up
the causal chain into various steps, it provides a thorough and
nuanced understanding of internet's role in different stages of the
mobilization process. It argues that the impact of internet use on
anti-governmental protesting differs per step in the 'mobilization
chain', and also that the effect depends on both the on- and
offline repression of the regime, as well as on the type of
internet that is available. While staying far away from any
technologically deterministic claims about the internet, the book
demonstrates that the internet especially plays an important role
in the early stages of the mobilization process: By exposing
citizens to alternative political information online, internet
users are more likely to become sympathetic towards
anti-governmental protest movements.
