Various information communication technologies (ICTs) have served to reinvent the way individuals interact with their governments and the international nation-state system. This paper seeks to explore how collaborative production processes have influenced participation, policy, governance, and social movements. The use of digital technologies and social movements as technology innovators will be analyzed during the decades before and after the Arab Spring.
