ABSTRACT
The field of research undertaken is politics on the internet and, more precisely, how political conflict manifests itself on the internet. In the face of different approaches to internet politics, my aim is to analyse these approaches, indicate what the problems are and outline how my work fits into this background. This chapter addresses the political problem of how new social movements use a postmodern medium like the internet to achieve traditional political goals, such as democracy, power and participation in an era of globalization.
