Subject: [Air-l] new vs old activism


Can anyone direct me to significant literature regarding what constitutes
old political activism vs new activism--particularly insofar as its
organisation, structure and implementation is concerned?  Of interest is how
(and whether) the Internet plays a role in what some are calling a new
(global?) activism.
 
Alternatively, if you think there's nothing particularly new about activism,
I'd be interested in that as well...
 
I realise this is a fairly broad question, but your responses needn't be
similarly expansive--just a quick thought here or there would be greatly
appreciated!
