520 Collective Action 2.0: The Impact of Social Media on
Collective Action provides a balanced look into how ICTs
leverage and interact with collective action through
avoiding technological determinism, utopianism, and
fundamentalism, which impacts the current discourse.
Recent events in different authoritarian regimes, such as
Iran and Egypt, have drawn global attention to a
developing phenomenon in collective action: people tend to
organize through different social media platforms for
political protest and resistance. This phenomenon
describes a change in social structure and behavior tied
to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Social
media platforms have been used to leverage collective
action, which, in some cases, has arguable led to
political revolution. The phenomenon also indicates that
the way information is organized affects the organization
of social structures with which it interacts. The
phenomenon also has another side, namely the use of social
media for activist suppression, state surveillance, or for
the mobilization of collective action towards undesirable
ends. Analyzes social media and collective action in a
deep and balanced mannerPresents an account avoiding
technological determinism, utopianism, and
fundamentalismConsiders the underlying theory behind quick
-paced social mediaTakes an interdisciplinary approach
that will resonate with all those interested in social
media and collective action, regardless of field specialty
