Digital tools are seen as playing a major part in political activities and revolutions around the world from the Green Revolution in Iran to the recent events in the Middle East and North Africa.

Readings

Problems with the Etling, Kelly, Faris and Palfrey PDF? If you're off campus and presented with a website saying you need to sign up to access this article . . . you do not. Sign into Harvard's VPN solution and you'll then have access or access it while on the Harvard network (on campus). If you need a copy and you cannot gain access via the VPN or don't know the how to use the VPN, email me from your Harvard address and I will forward a copy. My email is ajdavies@fas.harvard.edu. --Adavies01 01:29, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
