This article explores the idea of the Internet’s capacity to facilitate and perpetuate countless nationalistic agendas and ideologies around the globe. The last two years in particular have shown how new media (social media) technologies, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs provide an accessible and tangible mechanism of social change.

What are the global implications of cyber-nationalism in a world that prizes new media for its inherent “democratizing1” properties?
