Democracy’s Fourth Wave? guides readers through the avalanche of factors that meshed with digital media to produce the Arab Spring. The authors subtly adapt traditional methodologies to decode mysteries of complex causal effects. In doing so, their book brings clarity and insight to the conundrums of new technologies as factors in regime fragility and protest success.”
Monroe E. Price, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania

“This unprecedented multidisciplinary approach to the examination of the Arab Spring situates itself in digital revolutions and political transformations. I highly recommend it for students, activists, and policy makers seeking to understand how modern communication technologies are driving the Fourth Wave of Democracy in the Arab world.”
Imad Salamey, Associate Professor of Political Science, Lebanese American University

“This book represents the first serious effort to transcend the polarized debate between cyber-utopians and tech-skeptics regarding digital media’s role in the 2011 Arab Uprisings. Carefully argued and documented, it is of landmark importance and should be required reading for all those who seek to understand the interface of technology and political change and the future of democratization.”
Peter Mandaville, George Mason University

“Philip N. Howard and Muzammil M. Hussain’s study implies that… digital media played a much longer term role in creating favorable conditions for uprisings, helped to publicize key igniting events, and then facilitated those uprisings and their diffusion; but digital media did not do this alone or as suddenly as some observers have claimed… There are a number of other unique contributions, but there is insufficient space to review them all. Overall, I predict that future research will look kindly to the authors’ key findings, particularly the book’s central claim that digital media were one essential ingredient in larger casual recipes for revolution and democratization.”
Jennifer Earl, University of Arizona
