Social Media and Its Influence on Political Mobilization: A Case Study of the Arab Spring

Abstract

This article examines the role of social media in political mobilization during the Arab Spring. By using a mixed-method approach, including content analysis and interviews with key activists, the study highlights how social media platforms facilitated communication, coordination, and the spread of information. The research concludes that while social media played a crucial role in the uprisings, it was not the sole factor driving the political change.
