This project aims to examine the emerging digital practices of authoritarian regimes, generating new knowledge on authoritarianism through qualitative methods that are underused in cybersecurity research. It proposes to determine whether such ‘digital authoritarianism’ is a new and distinct phenomenon, or rather the transposition of offline authoritarian practices into the online space. Expected outcomes include enhanced understanding of technology’s impacts on autocratic agendas and generating data that supports effective national security policy. This should create benefits such as (1) furthering knowledge on authoritarianism and (2) supporting evidence-based policies to respond to the authoritarian cyber threat.

该项目旨在研究威权政权新出现的数字实践，通过网络安全研究中未得到充分利用的定性方法，产生关于威权主义的新知识。它建议确定这种“数字威权主义”是一种新的独特现象，或者更确切地说，是将线下威权主义做法转移到网络空间。预期成果包括加强对技术对专制议程的影响的理解，以及产生支持有效国家安全政策的数据。这应该会带来以下好处：(1)加深对威权主义的认识；(2)支持以证据为基础的政策，以应对威权主义的网络威胁。
