Research Colloquium June session - Foundation Office Cambodia
Event
Details
New technology and social media platforms played a crucial role in easing civil society’s political fear in the early 2010s, strengthening non-traditional political participation and making democracy more robust. However, later in the decade, thegovernmental co-optation of the digital sphere revived political fear, harming non-traditional politicalengagement and limiting civil society’s opportunities of using digital media to shape public institutions.
Research Colloquium is excited to welcome Dr Marc Pinol Rovira, who will present his research paper on the topic of the "Political participation in post-authoritarian regimes in the digital age: Insights from Cambodia".
Join our event by getting yourself registered here by June 30th, 2022.
