itical action all around us. Individuals can organize quickly, they can uni=
fy around ideas, they can find and spread information (and misinformation) =
with lightning speed. It's obvious that virtual platforms can have real-wor=
ld impact, from the Maghreb to Main Street / Benghazi to Boston / Syria to =
Wall Street (pick whatever you like best). The use of Internet-based tools =
as catalysts for political activism is well-established, and its momentum i=
s growing.

How can we use these new forces in our global society to productively addre=
ss the chronic problems of humanity? What are the limitations of these tool=
s and movements? How can these new tools be used by decision-makers and oth=
ers to cope with our future challenges? Where do the Internet and "real wor=
ld" communities intersect, sharing real concern about the same issues? And =
how does this look in countries outside of Europe?
