In Repression in the Digital Age Anita R. Gohdes provides an in-depth look into the
relationship between digital technologies and state violence. Drawing on original data Gohdes
argues that mass access to the Internet presents governments who fear for their political
survival with a set of response options which in turn support different forms of violence by
state forces. As digital communication has become a bedrock of modern opposition and protest
movements Repression in the Digital Age breaks new ground in examining state repression in the
information age.
