	Anti-globalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Members of the anti-globalization movement generally advocate socialist or social democratic alternatives to capitalist economics, and seek to protect the world's population and ecosystem from what they believe to be the damaging effects of globalization.
		The anti-globalization movement as it is now known stems from the convergence of these different political experiences when their members began to demonstrate together at international meetings such as the Seattle WTO meeting of 1999 or Genoa G/8 summit in 2001.
		Some see the movement as a critical response to the development of so-called neoliberalism, which is widely seen to have commenced with Margaret Thatcher's and Ronald Reagan's policies toward creating liaise-fare capitalism on a global scale by promoting the privatization of countries’ economies and the weakening of trade and business regulations.

		Some factions of the movement reject globalization as such, but the overwhelming majority of its participants are aligned with movements of indigenous people, human rights NGO's, anarchism, green movements, and to a minor extent communism.
		Some activists in the movement have objected not to capitalism or international markets as such but rather to what they claim is the non-transparent and undemocratic mechanisms; and the negative consequences of unregulated globalization.
		Another criticism is that, although the movement protests about things that are widely recognised as serious problems (human rights violations, genocide, global warming), it rarely proposes detailed solutions, and those solutions that have been advocated are often what some people regard as failed variants of socialism, e.g.

	the landscape of anti-racism in the anti-globalization movement
		The movement foundered, shrunk, retrenched, and emerged as two embattled and battling movements appearing side by side in New York in February and DC in September 2002.
		Through the cathartic effects of this euphoric experience a new movement was born, which had little conception of the historical struggles underlying it, and credited itself with “giving birth to a new global movement” as it pocketed the greetings and congratulations coming from people around the world.
		Reducing first world consumption is certainly not a sufficient strategy for confronting globalization, but it will be part of any plan for global justice, the real cost of which is not the risks we take in the streets but allowing third and fourth world peoples to keep their resources for their own uses.

	Theory of the Anti-Globalization Movement, Part II
		Treatments of the movement’s internal norms and debates attempt to clarify some of the driving issues within the movement, whereas those exploring its external alliances try to sketch out its differences with the official progressive opposition and parallel movements on the Right.
		Expressions of the movement’s internal identity can be found in essays throughout the book, although the articulation of this theme tends to be more diffuse than others (which makes sense, given that the collection’s purpose is to constitute the movement).
		This suggests that the movement is in a contradictory position in which the source of its popularity prevents it from growing and therefore realizing the potentials that made it so popular to begin with.

		The influence of anarchism was strongest among radical feminists, in the commune movement, and probably in the Weather Underground and elsewhere in the violent fringe of the anti-war movement.

		Labor people had always taken issue with the anarchist wing of the anti-globalization movement over “diversity of tactics.” They argued that it allowed demonstrations to be hijacked by those most committed to violent or inappropriate tactics.
		If the principal goals of the movement are to win over and mobilize large numbers of working people, then the most militant tactics aren’t necessarily those that will have the most profound effects.

	Theory of the Anti-Globalization Movement
		The movement’s anti-authoritarian, revolutionary character is currently under attack by a informal network of reformists, who want nothing more than to see this movement accommodate itself to the basic structures of the present world.
		Her final category is “delinking,” in which she treats movements that want to separate from global capital and build locally based alternatives to it, such as the anarchist movement, movements for sustainable development, the small businesses movement, sovereignty movements, and religious nationalist movements.
		This tends to broaden her picture of the anti-globalization movement, given that the most exciting developments in the movement are not always the largest, most influential, or most likely to succeed.

	Commentary: Global Goods for the Anti-Globalization Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		An anti-globalization group called “Anti-Marketing” defines globalization as “the process of exploiting economically weak countries by connecting the economies of the world, forcing dependence on (and ultimately servitude to) the western capitalist machine.” While this formulation may sound extreme, the same basic, perverted understanding of globalization has poisoned the minds of many.
		The irony of the anti-globalization movement is that the protesters themselves are the beneficiaries of globalization and rely on it to bite the hand that feeds them.
		I agree with you that "globalization" is used to mean many things, and that arguments against cultural domination, for example, should be kept separate from economic issues.

	AlterNet: Globalization: The Anti-globalization Movement Changes Its Tune
		A movement that crosses all national boundaries, that relies so heavily on electronic communications, that so effectively summons people to come from all over the world to march in the streets of whatever city might be hosting an economic conference was clearly a global one, however vigorously its rhetoric might condemn the evils of globalization.
		A movement that aspires to "build a planetary society" is going to have to move beyond the protest stance and become more practical and proactive than it has been so far.
		Unless it does, the best we have as alternatives to the present neo-liberal thrust of globalization are protectionism and socialism -- which didn't do a whole lot to solve the problems of previous centuries, and are not likely to prove the salvation of this one.

		Corporate Globalization (that is, the all pervasive conglomeration of multinational corporations setting up factories and openning markets around the world, as well as the erosion and eventual dissintegration of trade barriers so that all countries are incorporated into the "free market system." This corporate globalization is made possible through the aid of treaties like:
		Predatory lending entities like the IMF and World Bank will then provide funds, but at the expense of a countries natural resources which are then mandated to be utilized to repay the debt.
		Education and social programs are also reduced under these loans, as the main catch for getting a loan from the IMF or World Bamk is that you have to lower your trade tarriffs and incorporate your economy into the global economy.
