Now the new site of struggle is not the 'political economy of the nation', but the very existence of human irrespective of their nationalities and their varying system of political economies.
             3. New Social Movements generally abandon both the industrial worker's model of union organization and the political model of political parties. New Social Movements generally evolve a grassroots politics, grass root actions, often initiative micro-movements of small groups, targeting localized issues with a limited institutional base. They produce horizontally organized democratic associations that are loosely federated ion national levels. New Social Movements generally respond to issues stemming from civil society, 'that target the social domain of the "civil society" rather than the economy or state, raising issues concerned with the demonstration of the structures of everyday life and focusing on forms of communication and collective identity.'.
             4. The structure of the New Social Movements is, unlike the classical movements, defined by the plurality of pursuits and purposes, goals and orientations, and by the heterogeneity of their social bases. According to Touraine, in the past the capacity of a society to reproduce itself was limited. It was limited on account of a meta-social guarantee of social order, divine rules, natural laws, historical evolution, including the meta-social characteristics of the notion of modernity of the recent past. 'In our times, self-transformation and self-construction is boundless.' Consequently the forms of social actions and movements are plural, following many paths, pursuing different ends and articulating different interests.

             1. The conception of social movements correspond to the conception of a specific type of society. He defines New Social Movements by diversity and plurality. New Social Movements have to be seen in relation to the conception of the new representation of society.
