Abstract or Introduction
The capacity of individuals to influence international politics via modern international communication technologies (ICT’s) that enable instant communication has never been greater. Some go as far as to claim that foreign policy can no longer be an elitist affair (Bullion, 2009, p. 122). This statement implies that there are entirely new ways to express dissent, and challenge social orders. The aim of this essay is to evaluate whether those opportunities and challenges are formulated by a global civil society, or whether they are outcomes of sophisticated technological advancement that allows for closely co-ordinated transterritorial collaboration but do not fundamentally change the way interaction in the international system takes place.
