Norm life cycle of No bases network

The anti-base norm campaign received support from the anti-war movement that rose out of the wars in Afghanistan and particularly the war in Iraq. The no-base network relied on the global justice network in promoting its ideals, along with the support from local anti-base movements that also fed into the global justice network. From the cooperation between these various networks, the no-base network evolved into a global movement.

It took off at the World Social Forum in India in 2004 and includes hundreds of campaigners today.

It has done extensive framing in the past years, and is able to provide greater linkage between foreign bases and other sorts of issues.

The Ecuadorian government announced the closing of a U.S. military base, the Manta air base, in 2008, to which the NO-Base network has actively committed itself and reports this action as a victory of their networking activities.
