Carnegie Endowment – Open Networks Closed Regimes<\/a><\/p>\n

I recently saw this book mentioned on blog.org<\/a>, and added it to my amazon.co.uk shopping basket. I wish it wouldn’t cost me 70 quid for shipping 3 items to Denmark.

This quote comes from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace<\/a> website:
\nIn Open Networks, Closed Regimes, the authors take a comprehensive look at how a broad range of societal and political actors in eight authoritarian and semi-authoritarian countries employ the Internet. Based on methodical assessment of evidence from these cases – China, Cuba, Singapore, Vietnam, Burma, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt – the study contends that the Internet is not necessarily a threat to authoritarian regimes.<\/bq><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
