Although the feminist slogan ‘the personal is political’ is used in the alterglobalization movement and DiY is described as ‘personal’ politics (Kingsnorth 2003: 327), till for a short time ago not so much attention is given to feminism and the gay-queer movement.
You can describe the alterglobalization movement as ‘a struggle to reclaim space’ (Kingsnorth, 2002: 319).-- In this way the alterglobalists plea for the same as Hekma (2004) does for the sexual culture: a public sexual culture would be pleasant and good for the safety of the citizens and for the integration of different groups.--
In my opinion you can state that the queer movement and the alterglobalization movement have much in common, especially when the globalists started discussing sexuality and the queer movement started to criticize the social structures and material social practices and to express their feeling of solidarity with other oppressed groups.

 Americas Program | Citizen Action Focus | A Time to Ask, a Time to Demand, and a Time to Act
We are pleased by this alterglobalization movement in the sense that it doesn't repeat the vertical model of top-down decisionmaking, and that helps it not have a central command, directives or something like that.
We view the antiglobalization or alterglobalization movement as still rich in experiences, with much to contribute, and we think that it will give a lot, as long as it doesn't fall in the temptation of structures.
The risk that always exists is that a movement is converted into a show of personalities when these personalities don't even have the support of mobilizations on their own home turf.

I think when that slogan emerged, it was a sign of new vitality on the international left.

 NG @ the ESF
The European Social Forum (ESF) is a gathering where the alterglobalization movement in Europe discuss and exchange visions and strategies of globalized resistance.
The alterglobalization movement[2] is an umbrella term for a broad range of groups and movements dissatisfied with current globalization, driven by corporate and imperial interests, characterized by democratic deficits.
What concerned us was the ways in which the positioning of migrants in terms of the 'particular' and the 'authentic' provides 'Europeans' with a (discursive) position of power which in turn consolidates the gendered and racialized frameworks of domination already in place.

 [Les Pénélopes]
On Thursday a seminar lead by Revue Mouvements, Espace Marx, IPAM, Babels, Les Pénélopes and others questioned the symbols and language used by the alterglobalization movement and participants at the ESF.
The seminar pointed out how important it is to build an understanding of the different aspects and meanings of the word alterglobalization, which are laden with both expectations and political ideology.
It became clear in the discussion that each person brings his or her own meaning to this word, and these many meanings also show the strength of the movement itself.

 Welcome to the CADIS
In this work, the reader will find first of all ways of approaching the subject, analyses of general scope, analytical tools for approaching "alterglobalization" action, some more centered on the actor and his orientations, others more centered on the world system and its transformations.
Then, the reader will go on to examine the particularly decisive moments or reorientations in the short, but nonetheless dense, history of the movement, which is thus put in perspective.
Finally, this book considers the paradox of historical situations where globalization is denounced, no longer by the "alterglobalization" movement, but by particularly reactionary actors, whilst globalization is desired and finally put into place by forces concerned about democracy, liberty, creativity and openness to the world.

 Bono The Puppet
He can open doors of the White House, from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush, he became the favorite musician of the most conservative US Congressman Jesse Helms and of the most powerful Treasury minister in the world, US Secretary Paul O’Neill.
However, he seeks to “change the world” and be the symbol of the alterglobalization movement, while those involved in that movement reject him as a puppet of the powerful few.
Some protestors have even created huge sarcastic puppets with the figure of Bono and they are waving them during protests against big business and political summits.

The Age of Neoliberalism is heavy with contradictions.
Massive planetary alienation, structural unemployment, deep inequality and corporate oppression have been countered by a growing movement that started as antiglobalization (critique, denunciation, pressure for regulations and reforms) and developed into an alterglobalization movement whose basic motto is that of the World Social Forum: another world is possible, another globalization is possible.
In this adverse environment, we have seen the emergence of various forms of Popular Economy as an alternative to unemployment and exclusion, aimed at mere subsistence, a job and an income.

 Baltimore Independent Media Center: ¿Feliz año nuevo?: 10 Years Since the Zapatista Uprising
January 1, 1994 also marked the beginning of a tumultuous presidential election year, and the EZLN denounced the corrupt politics of the one-party State and called for the resignation of president Salinas.
Experts in the use of the internet, the Zapatistas quickly attracted a large international support base, and their movement has become a significant point of reference for what they now term the alterglobalization movement.
The Zapatista revolt changed Mexican politics in ways that were probably unexpected.

 Law Commission of Canada :: Research Projects :: Governance Beyond Borders :: Publications   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
This departure, which is stimulating for our purposes, appears especially in analyses that hold to an idea of a global civil society.
This notion rests on the representation - though quite vague at best - of an emerging public space, an alterglobalization, where pressure groups, NGOs, international coordinators of social movements, politicians, unions, international forums and communications networks relying on the Net also become actors in globalization.
This representation of a "global civil society" enables the actors who draw upon it to claim rights of participation that arise from the notion of citizenship and that aim more broadly to oblige actors in economic globalization (states and multinational enterprises) to guarantee basic rights to the people who are subject to its effects.

 The Pinocchio Theory » Science
This is the common wisdom of the age — it certainly isn’t specific to Taylor — but it’s an assumption that I increasingly think needs to be criticized.
The very fact that the same arguments from theories of chaos/complexity and “self-organization” can be cited with equal relevance by Citibank and by the alterglobalization movement, and can be used to justify both feral capitalism and communal anarchism, should give us pause.
For one thing, I don’t think we know yet how well these scientific theories will hold up; they are drastic simplifications, and only time will tell how well they perform, how useful they are, in comparison to the drastic simplifications proposed by the science of, say, the nineteenth century.

 Letter to some ecologist organizations in Europe :
Remember that a reform increases some taxes but at the same time reduces others or uses the revenue obtained from the pollution taxes.
If we can agree on a formula, then the alterglobalization movement may support this idea, as a complement to the Tobin tax.
