Conversation with Steven Feldstein

Join Steven Feldstein, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former Obama Administration official, as he discusses his new book, The Rise of Digital Repression: How Technology Is Reshaping Power, Politics, and Resistance. The Rise of Digital Repression explores how governments are using digital technology to subdue opponents, suppress dissent, and maintain political power. The book presents field research from Thailand, the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Hong Kong, all of which are experiencing troubling patterns of digital repression. Feldstein interviewed government officials, security agents, human rights activists, technologists, journalists, politicians, and tech companies to find out what this struggle looks like on the ground. Ultimately, The Rise of Digital Repression demonstrates how anti-democratic leaders harness powerful technology to advance their political objectives.
