Globalized protest follows the same two-century-old demonstration routines

Evidence

Where nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) (in this case humanrights groups) intersect with international organizations (in this case the United Nations), demonstrations are becoming a favored means of attracting global attention to a local cause. But the routines of demonstrations differ little from those that emerged with the social movement two centuries ago. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1269
