Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The Zapatista uprising of 1994 was a movement of firsts. It was the first movement to utilize the Internet to broadcast its message around the world. It was the first movement that went beyond regime change and sought to raise the national and international consciousness toward the plight of indigenous peoples in Mexico. Although the dialogue between the Zapatistas and the Mexican government has reached an impasse with a tentative truce in the balance, the indigenous problems remain. No longer waiting for the Mexican government, the Zapatistas engage in another first – the creation of autonomous municipalities, with the aid of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), to address their economic and social concerns. This recent merging of transnational funding with indigenous projects for self-development calls on scholars to closely examine the relationship between NGOs and social movements. Previous studies of social movements focused primarily on domestic opportunities, such as the state or society, but it is my contention that recent shifts in NGO activity have rendered the political opportunity structure (POS) used to examine social movement behavior outdated. Does the collaboration of non-governmental organizations diminish the capacity of the state? It is my contention that the global shifts in POS in some ways have liberated the state and its resources for local movements to seize, however, these changes carry the potential to undermine the state’s capacity to effect policy.
