Open Networks, Closed Regimes: the Impact of the Internet On ADVANCE PRAISE for Open Networks, Closed Regimes “Many hope that information technology will generate new opportuni- ties for global communications, breaking down national barriers even in dictatorial regimes with minimal freedom of the press. Kalathil and Boas provide a path-breaking and thoughtful analysis of this issue. A fascinating study, this should be widely read by all concerned with un- derstanding and promoting democratization, regime change, and new information technology.” —Pippa Norris, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University “Through a country-by-country analysis, Kalathil and Boas shed light on practices formerly known only by anecdote, and their findings chip away at the apocryphal notion that going digital necessarily means go- ing democratic. Their work answers a number of important questions, and frames a worthy challenge to those who wish to deploy technology for the cause of political openness.” —Jonathan Zittrain, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University Open Networks Closed Regimes GLOBAL POLICY BOOKS FROM THE CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE Africa’s New Leaders: Democracy or State Reconstruction?

Many of these effects, while widely assumed to be significant, have yet to be fully explored. In the absence of thorough analysis, unexamined assumptions about the Internet’s likely impact have become conventional wisdom. Tales of wired dissidents toppling strong-armed leaders, along with long-held be- liefs about the medium’s inherently democratic nature, have lent credibil- ity to the idea that the Internet inexorably undermines authoritarian re- gimes. Having outlasted the initial euphoria surrounding the information age, this notion has now solidified into a truism. It is an assumption that informs the speeches of politicians, creeps into policy debates, and pops up as fact in press reports. Few serious studies have yet tested this view. While new research has focused on individual countries or particular types of users, none has looked for patterns of effects across a broad sample of authoritarian regimes, giving equal consideration to Internet use by government, business, and civil society groups. In this book, Shanthi Kalathil and Taylor C. Boas carefully examine the full range of Internet use under eight authoritarian regimes. They dem- onstrate how the Internet’s net impact on authoritarian rule has often been obscured by conventional wisdom. In China, for instance, the Internet- enabled protests of the Falun Gong must be weighed against the government’s efforts to channel online discourse and extend its own au- ix x FOREWORD thority through Internet use. In Cuba, independent journalists may post their stories on web servers outside the country, but most citizens are shielded from the global Internet and encouraged to use a national com- puter network with government-authorized content. In some Southeast Asian countries, globally wired activist networks square off against gov- ernments who use the Internet to drive economic development and boost standards of living. And in many parts of the Middle East, the Internet increases access to Western images and ideas but also offers a soapbox for Islamic fundamentalists who oppose broadening civil liberties. Overall, as Kalathil and Boas note, the Internet is challenging and help- ing to transform authoritarianism. Yet they also argue that information technology alone is unlikely to bring about its demise. Their study is a valuable corrective to the blind optimism equating the Internet with free- dom, and it invites readers to realistically reflect on how the Internet might be better leveraged for democratic aims. This book builds on research conducted over the past three years at the Carnegie Endowment. It will serve as an innovative and useful guide for policy makers, activists, and anyone else who wants to use the potent information tools of the twenty- first century to promote greater global integration and understanding. Jessica T. Mathews President Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Acknowledgments This book could not have been written without the support of a number of individuals and organizations. We would like to thank Jessica Mathews, Paul Balaran, George Perkovich, and Thomas Carothers for creating a welcoming institutional environment at the Carnegie Endowment and for steadfastly encouraging our research efforts in an emerging field. Maria Carlo and Pavani Reddy deftly handled the administrative and research assistance that we needed to keep the project organized and on track. Trish Reynolds, Sherry Pettie, and Catherine Wigginton guided us through the publication process, while Carmen MacDougall and Scott Nathanson expertly publicized our research. Carnegie librarians Kathleen Higgs and Chris Henley and former librarian Jennifer Little amassed many of the sources upon which this study relies. We are also indebted to the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation, whose generous support of the Carnegie Endowment’s Global Policy Program made this project possible. In particular we wish to recognize William J. Drake, founding director of the Information Revolution and World Politics Project at the Carnegie Endowment, for his key role in launching this initiative and guiding it through its early stages. Our frequent discussions with Bill helped shape the framework and argument of this study in countless ways. We absolve him of responsibility for any shortcomings in the final product, but he can deservedly take credit for opening many of the doors that have helped make this book a reality. xi xii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We owe a special debt of gratitude to colleagues who read portions of the manuscript and offered feedback during the revision process, includ- ing Jon Alterman, Thomas Carothers, Peter Ferdinand, Will Foster, Nina Hachigian, Veron Hung, Philip Peters, Garry Rodan, and Deborah Wheeler.

  • THE BUSINESS of CENSORSHIP: CONTENT MANAGEMENT and the CHINESE ECONOMY By
    THE BUSINESS OF CENSORSHIP: CONTENT MANAGEMENT AND THE CHINESE ECONOMY by JOSHUA CLARK B.A. (Hons.), Queen's University at Kingston, 2009 MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 ©Joshua Clark, 2010 Abstract Content control and censorship on the Internet are increasingly important topics for scholars of democratization, media and communications. Most studies have examined the relationship between the Internet, content management and various elements important to democratization such as the formation of civil society organizations. This thesis attempts to expand this discussion by examining the effects of online content management on economic systems, using the People's Republic of China as an example. China features a globally integrated economy that is increasing dependent on manufacturing and services while simultaneously maintaining one of the most extensive online content management systems in the world. This paper attempts to show how the Communist Party of China is able to reconcile the need for connectivity in order to drive their economy while maintaining political control. It also discusses the long-term implications of this strategy. The first section consists of a series of quantitative and qualitative tests to determine how various classes of websites are managed. These tests reveal that in order to maintain the flow of information necessary for a globally integrated economy, the Chinese Communist Party utilizes strategies that manage but not block the information flows related to business. This survey is followed by a case study examining the relationship between Google and China, and the implications of Chinese regulation and control for the broader economy.

  • The Indonesian Archipelago's IT Growth on the Path to the Digital Economy Era MOHAMMAD YASIN
    The Indonesian Archipelago's IT Growth on the Path to the Digital Economy Era MOHAMMAD YASIN Preface Indonesia is still struggling to overcome its weak macroeconomic condition, reflected in a budget deficit that threatens macro stability and both international and domestic market confidence in the government's medium-term policies for restoring the economy. The exchange rate appreciated about 18.7 percent between February and December 1999 and then depreciated by around 29 percent from January to December 2000 due to domestic and political instability. The open unemployment rate reached 6.3% in 2000, up from 4.5% in 1999, while the inflation rate increased from 2.01% in 1999 to 9.35% for 2000. Policies for the medium -term include stabilizing the exchange rate, reducing the inflation rate, creating more jobs, and maintaining economic growth. Despite the internal macroeconomic problems, Indonesia's growth reached 4.77% up from 0.5% in 1999, primarily due to firm oil prices, rising exports of non-primary goods, and a moderate upturn in investment. Also, there were noticeable steps made toward re-capitalizing, restructuring, and consolidating the banking system. At 3.8% of GDP, the current account surplus was slightly below the 1999 level of 4.8%. Despite the country's economic problems, the flow of information through information technology could not be stopped. This new technology has been put to use in almost every segment of human activity from electronic commerce to education, medicine, transportation, tourism, the environment, and entertainment. As a country comprised of many islands with a land area as large as that of the United States, Indonesia has encountered a lot of problems in preparing its population for global competition in the new era of the digital economy.

  • The War on Terrorism and the Internal Security Act of Singapore
    Damien Cheong ____________________________________________________________ Selling Security: The War on Terrorism and the Internal Security Act of Singapore DAMIEN CHEONG Abstract The Internal Security Act (ISA) of Singapore has been transformed from a se- curity law into an effective political instrument of the Singapore government. Although the government's use of the ISA for political purposes elicited negative reactions from the public, it was not prepared to abolish, or make amendments to the Act. In the wake of September 11 and the international campaign against terrorism, the opportunity to (re)legitimize the government's use of the ISA emerged. This paper argues that despite the ISA's seeming importance in the fight against terrorism, the absence of explicit definitions of national security threats, either in the Act itself, or in accompanying legislation, renders the ISA susceptible to political misuse. Keywords: Internal Security Act, War on Terrorism. People's Action Party, Jemaah Islamiyah. Introduction In 2001/2002, the Singapore government arrested and detained several Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) operatives under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for engaging in terrorist activities. It was alleged that the detained operatives were planning to attack local and foreign targets in Singa- pore. The arrests outraged human rights groups, as the operation was reminiscent of the government's crackdown on several alleged Marxist conspirators in1987. Human rights advocates were concerned that the current detainees would be dissuaded from seeking legal counsel and subjected to ill treatment during their period of incarceration (Tang 1989: 4-7; Frank et al. 1991: 5-99). Despite these protests, many Singaporeans expressed their strong support for the government's actions.
