Apstrakt projekta

Sadašnje istraživanje ima za cilj da analizira evoluciju ruskog segmenta interneta (Runet) kroz okvir „generacije informacija kontrole“ sa posebnim fokusom na prirodu potraživanja rente u ruskom društvu. Iako je jasno da tehnološke promene donose nova moćna oruđa u ruke autoritarnih vladara, objašnjenje ovog fenomena iz čisto političke perspektive bi previše pojednostavilo problem. S jedne strane, autoritarne vođe zaista imaju ogromne koristi od pretvaranja svojih zemalja u neku vrstu orvelovskog sveta za nadzor. S druge strane, zemlje poput Rusije uveliko eksploatišu tržišne mehanizme, te je razumno pretpostaviti da upravo tržišna sfera u okviru postojećih institucionalnih aranžmana jača moć ovih režima.
