Abstract
This essay aims to study how communication technology, in the form of digital platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, affects citizens' engagement in the autocratic state of Myanmar. The theoretical framework implemented are the theories of participatory politics, as well as Robert Dahl's principles of democracy. Through the methods of case study and process tracing, it was concluded that all criteria of participatory politics were met in the mentioned incidents. Dahl’s principles of democracy were however not as universally identifiable, whereas only three criteria were considered to be met.
