This chapter presents three stories of recent events that illustrate three properties of emerging transnational protest: inclusive organization models that favor diversity & issue-linking; social technologies that facilitate decentralized networks & help explain shifts in the scale of coordinated transnational activism; & the political capacities of members to communicate their issues & form effective relationships with the targets of protest. These formulations derive from observations about the growing global social justice movement & its intersection with protests against the US war & occupation of Iraq. A framework is developed for understanding the tensions between & different strategies of today's direct action networks & the more centralized nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) & social movement coalitions that emerged in the earlier era of issue-specific (eg, labor, environment, human rights) transnational activism. Contemporary strategies include less NGO dominance of campaign & policy networks; the evolution of multi-issue organizations (ATTAC in Europe); more direct individual involvement in setting the agenda from below; & the proliferation of permanent campaigns not controlled by NGOs or coalitions.
