초록
인터넷이 민주주의를 촉진하는가? 이는 정치학 영역에서 1980년대 이후 인터넷에 대한 가장 중요한 논의라 할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 논의는 결정적인 증거의 부족으로 인터넷의 확산이 민주주의를 발전시킬 것이라는 ‘신화’로 굳어졌다. 본 연구의 목적은 인터넷 신화를 검증해 보는 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 인터넷 신화의 반증사례로 볼 수 있는 권위주의 국가의 인터넷 확산에 대한 행태를 살펴보고 있다. 분석 결과에 따르면 권위주의 국가는 인터넷의 확산에 더욱 적극적이었는데, 이는 권위주의 국가의 특성에 기인하는 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 볼 때, 인터넷—민주주의의 신화는 실존한다고 볼 수 있으나 엄격한 검증을 위한 한계점은 여전히 남아있다
Abstract
Does Internet promote democracy? This is the most important debate on Internet in political science since 1980s. However this debate set into myth: 'Internet diffusion affects on development of democracy' because lack of critical evidence. The purpose of this research is quite clear: verifying the myth of internet with the pilot statistical model. To verify the myth, this research is focused on behavior of authoritarian states on Internet diffusion which could be considered as counterevidence of the myth. The result shows that authoritarian states are more positively reacted on diffusing Internet and this was caused by characteristic of authoritarian state itself. In this point of view, the myth of Internet-democracy can be regarded to exist, however, some critical points for strict verification are still remaining.
