Editing Power - Collaborative Power

The use of a mass of people to achieve an objective that an individual would be incapable of achieving alone. Collaborative power normally refers to a group of individuals with a common interest acting in unison in order to promote or force change. Collaborative power can either be voluntary, as in the case of protests and demonstrations, or involuntary, as with wars when conscription is enforced. The potential of collaborative power was most recently seen during the [[Arab Spring]].
