The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the use of the Internet in grassroots campaigns. Ideas from social movement theory are used as a theoretical framework. Three different cases, spanning a period of 8 years, are examined to find development patterns. The chapter concludes with a discussion of what impact technology used by grassroots movements has on modern politics.
