On February 15, 2003, the largest one-day protest in human history
took place as millions of people in hundreds of cities marched in
the streets, rallying against the imminent invasion of Iraq. This
was activism on an unprecedented scale. "The World Says No to War"
strives to understand who spoke out, why they did, and how so many
people were mobilized for a global demonstration. Using surveys
collected by researchers from eight countries--Belgium, Britain,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United
States--"The World Says No to War" analyzes how the new tools of
the Internet were combined with more conventional means of
mobilization to rally millions, many with little experience in
activism, around common goals and against common targets.
