摘要

This dissertation proposed and tested a five-dimensional theoretical framework to explain the variations in Internet use across the post-communist countries. The framework included economic, political climate and policy, technology/infrastructure, cultural, and audience factors. Three factors emerged as critically important: economic, political, and infrastructure factors. Cultural factors seemed to have partial impact. These findings suggest that the traditional country-level indicators of economic wealth and technological infrastructure remain important determinants of Internet use in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The most significant determinant, however, was level of democratization.; The results of the multiple regression analysis reported in this study indicate that democratization, teledensity, and GNP per capita were the three most important factors positively related to Internet use in the post-communist countries. Being predominantly Muslim had a negative effect on Internet use while being Western Christian (Protestant or Catholic) seemed unrelated to Internet adoption. Neither length of telecommunications privatization nor education level appeared significant in this analysis.; Thus, the results of this study shed light on the macro-level indicators that affect Internet adoption in the post-communist countries. These have important implications for policy makers at the local, national, and international level. The proposed Internet diffusion model may be applicable to other regions, but this analysis focused only on the 28 post-communist countries.
