The Pacific Review Vol 27 No 3, July 2014, pp.383-407 (103)Summary: Describes a study of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia to identify the validity of a common view: that the extent of political control of the internet depends on how authoritarian the government is. Finds that a government's position on the democratic - authoritarian scale is not enough, on its own, to indicate the extent of its efforts to control and suppress the internet; the other significant factor is the scale and vibrancy of the online community which acts as a constraint on what authoritarian governments would like to do.
