Dialogues on Digital Society Special Issue: Authoritarianism in the Digital Age

Category: Publication

Recent events have highlighted the role of the digital in the authoritarian movements, politics and governance. DDS is commissioning a series of short commentaries (up to 2000 words) exploring the digital contours of authoritarianism. We welcome short commentary articles (1,500-2,000 words) that report on, reflect on, critique, and illuminate our picture of the role of digital technologies in building, sustaining, and challenging authoritarian rule. We especially welcome papers that place this role in the longer histories of these political systems and those that explore these dynamics as they are occurring within a variety of jurisdictions. We are particularly keen to include analysis from across the global geopolitical landscape and not just the present U.S. moment - that is, an analysis of digitally-mediated authoritarianism in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, North America, and Europe.
