Book excerpt: In times of increasing mediatization and digitalization media play an important role in political and societal transformation processes. The authors of this volume take an actor-centered perspective to shed light on current cases in Arab and Asian countries.

It features original research about various social and political actors such as women’s rights activists, public intellectuals, anarchists and Islamists.
