Summary/Abstract: Anarchism is a doctrine of political thought in which the highest value is the idea of freedom. The other constituents of anarchism are the result of a wide interpretation of the notion of freedom. The aim of the article is to determine the forms of activity of anarchists and to define the challenges which the anarchist movement has faced in the conditions of globalization in the early 21st century. Three methods were used to solve the research problem: the systematic, historical and comparative one. The source material is mainly composed of the publications and documents of the anarchist movement, as well as the conclusions drawn from the observation of the movement carried out by the author for several years. The explanation for the following questions constitutes the content of the article: in which organizational structures have anarchists been active and how have the contradictions in functioning of the anarchist movement in the era of globalization been manifested?
