| Abstract | "The Middle East's digital turn has renewed hopes of socio-economic development and political change across the region. It has also engendered stark contradictions and accentuated long-time tensions. The resulting disjunctures ensnare the region in a digital double bind: The same conditions that fuel the state, market, and public's growing preoccupation with the digital also inhibit the drivers of change. Using locally-grounded research and rich case studies, this book critically engages with the question of technology and change beyond familiar trajectories of the network society. The Digital Double Bind offers a path-breaking analysis of how the Middle East region negotiates its relation to the digital"-- Provided by publisher. |
