Protest,Cyberactivism and New Social Movements: The Reemergence of the Peace Movement Post 9/11
Authors:Victoria Carty
Institution:Chapman University , Orange, CA, USA
Abstract:This paper examines ways in which the Internet and alternative forms of media have enhanced the global, yet grassroots, political mobilization in the anti-war effort in the post 9/11 environment. An examination of the role of cyberactivism in the peace movement enhances our understanding of social movements and contentious politics by analyzing how contemporary social movements are using advanced forms of technology and mass communication as a mobilizing tool and a conduit to alternative forms of media. These serve as both a means and target of protest action and have played a critical role in the organization and success of internal political mobilizing.
Keywords:Cyberactivism  globalization  social movements  war on terrorism  contentious politics  political opportunity structures
