Global social movements have been called the “new form” of social opposition since the 1999 Seattle demonstrations. It differs from the organizational forms of the previous social formation by being based on horizontal organization, acting leaderless, the diversity of the subjects of the movements, and finally, by taking advantage of the advantages of communication technology and placing organizing through social media at the center. In the dilemma of continuity and rupture, it is discussed what makes social movements new in the examples of countries in the Middle East geography. In the context of the Egyptian, Tunisian and Iranian examples, the movements are evaluated in the context of continuity by emphasizing the historicity of their action repertoires, and at the same time, in comparison, it is determined that more personal and everyday demands are made. In the Tunisian and Egyptian cases, economic problems were at the center, while in Iran, in addition to the problems of labor, in addition to labor problems, demands on the basis of personal rights and freedoms came to the fore.
