          The internationalized social movements, in the context of nowadays globalization, represent the form of mobilization and political participation of the future, connecting the local context to the global perspective.


          At the beginning of my endeavor, I point out the importance of having a political vision and try to make the reader aware that we are living in a global reality where we have the possibility to manifest together as a democratic participative international society.

          The modern mass communication means, especially the internet, allow us to interact and to organize as groups based on our common views and interests.


          Our possibility to establish bridges of communication between each other and to join forces in common causes, to cooperate, to motivate, to mobilize and to inspire each other is unprecedented.

          Our world wide communication is facilitated by the internet that plays the role of the virtual "agora".


          In the globalize world of today, the time and space constraints are no longer important, as everyone can participate in live public meetings (by using the internet) that reunite various people from all over the world based on their shared common goals and their commitment to a common cause.


          In my endeavor, I focus upon this fascinating sociopolitical reality of creating and developing a social movement.


          My main assumption is that social media activism is the triggering factor for the spontaneous birth of social movements.


          I fallow the birth of the movement - termed "the global democratic society" or “the democratic participative international society” - that allows us to instantly participate in the events that matter to us, by the touch of a button, to every local reality in the world where we wish to be.


          Everything starts with the inception of an idea or a thought that gains the adhesion of people who join forces, in order to promote their idea as their common cause and make the change come true.


          My endeavor describes the stages undertaken by a social movement born in the virtual space to organize, mobilize and make its voice heard, gaining symbolic legitimacy and making the cause of the movement become priority on the agenda of the media, the citizens and the politicians. 


          In the organization and mobilization phase of the social movement, the adherents become more active in their local environments, gather together in meetings and manifest their ability to convert large masses of citizens as a tremendous force by their enthusiasm and commitment to the cause. 


          Furthermore, the message is conveyed by mass-media, endorsed by the people and integrated in the political agenda of certain political parties. 


          In elections, a political party assumes the cause and integrates it as part of its political program.


          If the party wins the elections, the moment the political party accedes to power, the initial cause turns into public policy and it is implemented by the Government at national level. 


          The entire process, from the birth of an idea (cause) to the implementation of the idea by national governments as public policies, would not have been possible without the means of communication and the setting of the public virtual sphere (“the agora”) provided by the world wide net.
