Digitized Autocracy Literature Review
The digital age changed the context in which authoritarian regimes operate. New technologies such as the Internet and social media reduced barriers to coordination, making it easier for ordinary citizens to mobilize and challenge unresponsive and repressive governments. Research shows that in the post-Cold War era protests have surpassed coups as the most common way that authoritarian leaders are ousted from office (Kendall-Taylor and Frantz, 2014). Authoritarian regimes, however, have adapted to this new challenge and learned to co-opt digital tools in ways that significantly shape political dynamics in their regimes.
