Abstract

This chapter explores the relationship between the processes of online mobilisation and political change in two developing states—India and South Africa. The technological revolution has provided opportunities to redress the long-standing imbalance between states of the Global North and South. However, some claim that expectations have been confounded by entrenched economic and political interests, who have subverted the technology for their own ends. Therefore, this analysis examines whether these societies have used the information revolution to critically address the underlying divisions in economic and political democratic rights.
