Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on the zapatista netwar Paper must be at least 1250 words. Please, no plagiarized work! It can also be said that this marked the era of the post-communism revolution that was also used as a revolutionary template in the recent uprisings in the Middle East (Armond, _____).

This recent phenomenon of using technology, media, and NGOs in insurgency can be traced back to the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) in Mexico in the early 1990s. Chiapas, once an isolated backwater on Mexico’s southern border became the birthplace of the new template in insurgency due to the political and economic factors that made the new type of insurgency ripe. The disparity between the rich and the poor was pervasive which is typical of a feudal state, coupled with the presence of transnational NGOs and discontented indigenous (local indigenous people) who wanted better economic condition and cultural recognition set the stage for the rise of Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN).

The current political situation in Mexico can be described as stable with the ending of the armed confrontation in the 1990s, where the Mexican government was forced to negotiate and eventually initiate reform was precipitated by the participation of various Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) facilitation of information campaign through Netwar with the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) at the forefront of the engagement.

The insurgency began in Chiapas begun as traditional guerilla warfare with the Maoist model of engagement of fighting in the open to instigate a national revolution. This proved to be tactically disastrous for EZLN who was less than capable to engage in conflict than the Mexican government. This “war of the fleas” model of warfare was transformed when the transnational NGOs came and changed the methods of the insurgency from the traditional armed conflict engagement to informational warfare which is dubbed as Netwar.

Based on nature, characteristic, and manifested action of the players of the insurgency, NTS should be leery of the social movement network. The appropriate behavior would be to be careful but not to be fearful to disengage in business. Being fearful of the social movement network or adopting the plain watch and see attitude will not benefit NTS in the immediate or in the long-term. This assessment is grounded on several reasons.
