Revolution Stalled

The Political Limits of the Internet in the Post-Soviet Sphere

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study of the Russian internet explores how, when, and why the internet challenges leaders in non-free states. Using an analysis of content, community, catalysts, control, and co-optation, Revolution Stalled moves beyond 'virtual' politics to show how the internet can threaten and defy information hegemony and re-shape societies.
