Review: "In Insurgency Online, Michael Dartnell focuses on a new form of conflict made possible by today's communication systems. The Internet, Dartnell argues, is affecting extensive changes to the way politics are carried out by allowing a range of non-state actors onto the global political stage. He demonstrates that Web activism raises issues about the organization of societies and the distribution of power, and contends that the development of online activism has far-reaching social and political implications with parallels to the influence of the invention of the printing press, the telegraph, and the radio." "Dartnell concentrates on Web activists who use the Internet as a media tool, distinguishing this use from information terrorism, which threatens or harasses through 'hacking' or electronic sabotage. Using the examples of the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), which opposed the Taliban, the Peruvian Movimento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru (MRTA) and its campaign against the Fujimori government, and the Irish Republican Socialist Movement (IRSM), Dartnell evaluates the political implications and general character of Web activism. Insurgency Online shows that online activism is a ripe, new method for non-governmental movements and individuals to raise awareness and develop support around the world."--Jacket.
