Book: Open Networks, Closed Regimes

Carnegie Endowment - Open Networks Closed Regimes

I recently saw this book mentioned on blog.org, and added it to my amazon.co.uk shopping basket. I wish it wouldn't cost me 70 quid for shipping 3 items to Denmark.
In the past few days the book has been popping up a number of places, just today on the development gateway mailing list.
It looks like it might be worth reading.

This quote comes from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace website:
In Open Networks, Closed Regimes, the authors take a comprehensive look at how a broad range of societal and political actors in eight authoritarian and semi-authoritarian countries employ the Internet. Based on methodical assessment of evidence from these cases - China, Cuba, Singapore, Vietnam, Burma, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt - the study contends that the Internet is not necessarily a threat to authoritarian regimes.
