About

Iginio Gagliardone is British Academy Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford and Research Associate at the Centre of Governance and Human Rights at the University of Cambridge. His research and publications focus on new media and political change in Sub-Saharan Africa, the adaptation of international norms of freedom of expression in authoritarian regimes, and the role of the media in peace-building processes. His current research explores the role of emerging powers such as China in promoting alternative conceptions of the Internet in Africa, and in particular whether and how the ideas of state stability, development and community that characterize the Chinese model are influencing and legitimizing the development of a less open conception of the information society. Iginio completed his PhD at the LSE investigating the relationship between Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and nation building in Ethiopia.
