[[Organization credits]] \n\n'''Goals and Key Objectives''' \n\nAt this event, we undertook a historically grounded comparative approach that attempted to place these protests and their corresponding forms of social cooperation in context and sought to establish an analytical and theoretical grounding for the study of these events. We did not only investigate each individual case, but also assessed the relationships (or lack thereof) between each of the respective cases. \n\nMore specifically, the workshop analyzed the particular details associated with each national/regional case and identified and discussed any commonalities between them based on a 'triangulation' of current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement. To facilitate an interactive discussion on these topics during the event, the specific angle of each of the three planned sessions was defined around clusters of participants' interest: \n\n* '''EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES''' \nWhich organizational forms were adopted by the movements in each case? What is the role of social media in shaping these emerging forms? Are there similarities among the cases? What do these cases tell us about the conditions and organizational principles of collective action? \n\n* '''WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?''' \nWhat is the movement composition (i.e, who were the actors and what social bases were involved)? In terms of the actors what is the continuity with previous mobilization waves, such as the global justice movement? What were/are the visions and strategies of change in each of the cases? Is there a common political view or strategy among all the cases? What are the significant divisions between actors within each individual case? Are there similar divisions across different cases, and to what extent are the local and national dynamics important in shaping movement configuration? \n\n* '''EXPLANATORY FACTORS AND CONNECTIONS AMONG THE CASES''' \nWhy did social mobilization happen in so many countries at once? Are there similar explanatory factors and historical trajectories that explain why mobilization took place? Is it legitimate to talk about a global wave of mobilization? If so, how are these different cases connected and how might we confirm and document the connections between movements? What are the mechanisms of diffusion and translation among the cases? \n\n'''Objectives:'''\n\nTo achieve the overarching goal of \"triangulating\" of the current research and understanding on the Arab revolutions, European mobilizations and the American Occupy movement, our specific goals were: \n* Contextualize (both historically and from a socio-political perspective) the impact of digital tools in collective action by connecting the social movements studies tradition with the analysis of Internet-based phenomena, which required drawing connections among European, North American, and Arabic approaches to research and analysis. \n* Map and systematically organize existing research and expertise on the current wave of social cooperation and mobilization.\n* Exchange, share, and discuss current work and facilitate synergy among researchers on the topic.\n\n'''Format and methodology'''\n\nThe workshop was intended as an exchange between researchers at the event rather than as an opportunity to disseminate information to other researchers or to the general public. To facilitate interaction among researchers, this workshop avoided conference-style presentations and instead was designed to foster dialogue among individuals working in this space. The format was mainly discussion-based around a series of questions, with the opportunity to share papers in advance of the event itself at this wiki. A maximum of 30 participants were expected at this highly-interactive event. \n\nFor each session, a moderator introduced the theme followed by very short (5 minute) warm up presentations. Then all participants were invited to discuss any and all issues pertaining to the theme. Each session finalized by someone providing a synthesis of the discussion. For each session, we assigned a note taker and like tweeting.\n\nAll workshop discussion were audio recorded for note taking purposes. Live streaming connexion were provided upon request.\n\n[[Schedule]]\n\n[[List of participants]]\n\n'''Contact''' Mayo Fuster Morell at mayofm(at)cyber.law.harvard.edu or Amar Ashar at ashar(at)cyber.law.harvard.edu\n\n= Workshop documentation =\n\n'''Notes sessions:'''\n\n* 9:30 am \u2013 10:30 am EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES and 10:45 am-11:45 am CONTINUATION EMERGING ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES [https://docs.google.com/document/d/19VvvBKVGgsVTz1A2PsdobxDzo8mafs8L92e-VFOhOFw/edit Notes session]\n\n* 1:00 pm-2:30 pm WHO MOBILIZED AND WITH WHICH GOALS AND STRATEGIES?
