Theory of networks of international organizations of political movements in the Internet age

Summary/Abstract: The first international organizations of political movements were founded in the nineteenth century, and, therefore, can be included in the classic conceptual categories of political science (party systems). However, at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries there were social changes related to the omnipresence of the Internet so it was necessary to ask whether organizations characteristic for the industrial era are present in the reality of the Internet era. Organizations included in the third stage of the internationalization process of political parties/ movements were accepted as the starting point of the analysis. The author concludes that contemporary organizations of international political movements (fourth stage) are networked, and have multimodal as well as multifaceted character, and differ from international ones established in the 20th century.
