Abstract
The author argued that the advent of social media summoned the collective dynamics of democracy of the citizens, by the citizens, and for the citizens. Such patterns using social media can readily alter the form of social movements, allowing their mutual interconnection and shaping the enclaves of networked clustering. Social media offer a new paradigm of democracy that encourages engagement and participation in both cyber and actual political actions for ordinary citizens. Nevertheless, little is known about co-occurrence and linkages between cyber and real world actions by numerous participants. Consequently, this issue should be investigated with open questions related to the following points. 1. Social institutional matters related to legitimation crises caused by social movements 2. Co-occurrence and Linkages of collective dynamics between cyber and actual political actions 3. Enlargement of participants in social movement 4. Systemic Risks from Local to International Affairs.
