2. The AGSM is here conceptualized as a learning and expansive network working towards learning participatory democracy and is the subject of this dissertation.
3. Key distinctions between Associative Networks and Anti-globalization Social Networks seem to be their originating and driving force as well as their intent. Anti-globalization Social Networks are open and inclusive systems that are grassroots driven, while Associative Networks are networks that intend to reform a capitalist economic system that is willing to liberal democracy (Chalmers, 2000; Esteva, 1998).
4. Findlay, 2002, cited in Szeman, (2002) instructs us that student age youth involved in the anti-globalization protest no longer rely on either media or schools as their sources of information to learn and understand their local circumstances or world politics but are looking for alternative and trusted sources of knowledge. Since those sources are scarce and at times cannot be found, they often resort to developing their own. Szeman, (2002) Findlay (2002) Michell (2002) present a forceful case, arguing that People’s Summits, the World Social Forums now occurring in various nations and regions (such as the one that has just occurred in Ecuador), protest training sessions, Q& A Session, teach-ins, and video production have become important pedagogical scaffolding of the sustainable structures of autonomous producing knowledge.

8. The creativity of AGSM networks in creating new sites of learning seems infinite. Website, independent television and radio project such as Indymedia (that can be found at indymedia.com), micro wave radio projects, so many that it has been impossible for the FCC to stop this trend. A cursory examination of the programs from each of these sites reveals a rich mix of educational programs presenting investigations and research in the form of speakers and documentaries and simultaneously promoting discussion and information.
