summit-hop verb. To attack globalization and corporate power only by protesting at one trade-related summit after another.

Example Citation:
"'Summit Hopping' — the process by which all the energies of the activist groups go into organising one summit protest after another, leaving them little time for grass-root work — is now under attack from within. The summit protests attract media attention but that they have no other impact is the substance of this critique."
—"What are they protesting about?", The Hindu, October 8, 2000
