This article suggests that the driving force of today's new internationalism is not a common ideology, but needs and the practical necessities of different movements within the context of the global economy. The Zapatistas are one of the movements that most have explicitly and systematically voiced a vision of a different world developed from within the old. Therefore this article analyses its literature and investigates important insights about the conditions of struggle in today's world and about the constitutive processes that can be envisaged in these new practices.
