New social networks have a unique ability to organize and control social movements. Communication policy-making is based on how effective, social, regional, and international phenomena are understood, analyzed and managed. In this process, people are the main subjects of political systems, information structure and security necessities. Each of these institutions attempts to "control perceptions" in the context of social subjectivity. In this paper, to explain the relationship between communication policy, networks and social movements, such as a process will be part of the "cultural policy" mechanism. In cultural policy, the media will play a decisive role in organizing public opinion. The networking of the social structure provides the necessary grounds for collective action, participatory action, and the creation of an organic link between the various pillars of the political, social and international system. This process shows that in the age of the network and social movements, the pattern of government action would formed its transformative, changing, identity and competitive character. The main question of the paper is related to cultural policy and networking policy making. The question is "Communication policy in a networked society has what kind features, functions, and links with social movements?" The hypothesis is that "Communication policy in the network era is related to functional posture, cultural policy and social movements." The main approach for explain this article is communication and network policy making. Such an approach was first introduced by Manuel Castells. Castells sought to demonstrate that social movements were the result of network space and that governments use communication patterns and mechanisms to control policy and power equivalence.
