摘要

乌干达的公民通过自下而上地构建自己的参与空间来应对一个反应迟钝的政府。这些自下而上的参与性空间帮助公民逃避政权的镇压，并反对政治代表和行政精英将他们排除在决策过程之外。然而，来自下层的参与手段似乎威胁到了政权的生存和精英阶层的等级制度。因此，在乌干达，自下而上的工具的使用经常受到国家通过使用在线和数字通信法律的严格限制和控制。乌干达的数字政策和新的在线和数字通信法律的诚信和公平程度如何?本文概述了国家对在线参与工具的监控，并讨论了乌干达人对乌干达数字政策的完整性和实施的看法。

The integrity of digital policies and political participation in Uganda: a tale of dissent and digital repression?

ABSTRACT In response to an unresponsive government, citizens in Uganda have reacted by constructing their own spaces of participation from below. These bottom-up participatory spaces help citizens to escape the repression of regimes and counter their elimination by political representatives and administrative elites from decision-making processes. However, the participatory instruments from below seemingly threaten the regime's survival and the elites’ hierarchies. Consequently, the use of bottom-up instruments in Uganda has often faced severe restrictions and control from the state through the use of online and digital communication laws. What is the level of integrity and fairness of digital policies and new online and digital communication laws in Uganda? The article profiles the monitoring of online instruments of participation by the state, and discusses the views of Ugandans towards the integrity and implementation of digital policies in Uganda.
