Re: Comments on a Michael Hardt NLR article ? recent posts by LP, nd, LR concerning global movement structure-process: LP is critical about the ?network model?. But here are three points to consider: WOMEN (1) the women?s movements in many countries have hade some successes in recent decades. (I am not saying ?definitive complete victory?, but significant successes, especially in the First World / core of world-system.) Their movement structure-process is similar to a ?network model?, rather than to a ?centralist party model?. TNCs (2) take any modern textbook on international business (training material for future global corporate executives). There you will find that even global corporations are not preaching the centralist model (hierarchy, pyramidal structure) anymore, but networked and matrix models, instead. COMPUTERS (3) in the computer world, computer architecture with centralized supercomputers are one model for processing; distributed processing is another model. Both coexist and more processing is done in the distributed mode. CONCLUSION networked and distributed structure-process models are (a) very popular, (b) coexist with centralist models, and (c) can be very effective.
