	ATTAC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ATTAC attends the meetings of the G8 with the goal of influencing policymakers' decisions.
		ATTAC functions on a principle of decentralisation: local associations organise meetings, conferences, and compose documents that become counter-arguments to the neoliberal discourse.
		ATTAC aims to formalise the possibility of an alternative to the neoliberal society that is currently required of globalisation.

	Attac - Attac
		ATTAC disapproves the existing form of globalisation, a globalisation dominated by neo-liberal motives and oriented to serve the interests of the rich and of large enterprises: The world is not a merchandise.
		ATTAC has to focus on a certain set of issues even within the area of economic globalisation, for political effectiveness also depends on the ability to formulate positions in a simple and convincing message, as it has successfully been done with the Tobin tax issue.
		ATTAC is independent of political parties and rejects efforts from political parties to win it over to act as an instrument for their activities or co-opting with national or international institutions.

	ATTAC France / Versions étrangères / English / Attac says "no" to the treaty for a european constitution and will ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Attac had formulated 21 requirements to make this treaty compatible with a truly European Europe; one democratic, socially sensitive, ecological, and in solidarity.
		Considering the importance of what is at stake-all of Attac’s goals being directly affected, indeed thwarted by the European policies-the Administrative Council of Attac decided that it ought to consult all of the members of the association before declaring its definitive position.
		Attac will respond to this brainwashing in a reasoned manner, text of the treaty in hand, with a variety of citizen and community actions.

	In These Times 25/12 -- On The ATTAC
		ATTAC was launched the following June (though the group's official name now translates as the "Association for the Taxation of financial Transactions to Assist the Citizen").
		ATTAC was formed primarily in reaction to what it calls the "dictatorship of the market" imposed by "financial globalization." The group argues not only for more regulation of the market, but preservation of a realm free from market values.
		The growth of ATTAC reflects and encourages a growing disquiet with the new global economy among parts of the French labor movement as well as the broader public.

	Redesigning the global economy: NI magazine 320 - Mass Attac
		A year later Attac was 5,000 strong and ready to launch a national petition – there are now more than 130 local committees in 28 municipalities across France, while the Tobin Tax petition has nearly a million signatures.
		Attac’s strength is that it acts as a meeting point for social movements and the concerns of individual citizens but trade unions and the movement of the unemployed also play an important role.
		High-school kids and university students set up their own Attac groups and plans are underway to introduce the campaign to the classroom by producing alternative primers on economic and global issues.

	BERNARD CASSEN - ON THE ATTACK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Beyond Europe, ATTAC has already sprung up in Quebec, in Africa, in most Latin American countries and in Japan, and last year in Porto Alegre we organized a world meeting of the different ATTACs—nearly all of which have adopted the same model as the French original.
		So ATTAC members aren’t activists in the French sense of the term, which differs from the English, since its connotation is action for action’s sake.
		ATTAC comes to a large extent out of this world, as its composition suggests—we are in our own way heirs of its traditions, and belong to its logic.

	portland imc - 2002.04.04 - Attac: Critical, Pragmatic and Convincing
		Attac, a growing anti-globalization movement, is increasing in support in France and Germany.
		The book "Attac" is a patchwork, a colorful mixture of analysis, features and interviews (with Daniel Cohn-Bendit, one of the few Greens who has understood the significance of Attac and Thomas Fischer, director of the Deutsche Bank).
		Attac, according to Grefe, "makes use of the need of the individualized society for spontaneity and the desire not to be firmly bound to organizations"" This formula --inner tolerance and loose bonds - is a key to its success and the greatest danger.

		The caution with which Attac tackles the issue of war was explained in a comment by one of the speakers in a podium discussion, Bettina Gaus, who conceded that there were very many different opinions on the war inside Attac.
		Attac is a pole of attraction for those in society who are profoundly disturbed at the prospect of social instability arising from the break-up of the relatively stable post-war economic and political conditions.
		All in all, the unsavoury impression left by last weekend’s conference was the determination of the Attac leaders to utilise the movement to demonstrate their own worth as a factor for ensuring social stability to the political elite.

		In all their articles, books and speeches, Attac's leaders have always been extremely careful to distinguish the Nobel Laureate's goal, which our organization shares (we know that financial crises strike the poor the hardest), from our two other goals.
		Attac stands for "Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens".
		He made it clear that he was not a "revolutionary" - no secret to Cassen - and said that he would not be able to attend the conference, both due to his wife's state of health and so as not to be linked personally to an association whose goals he did not share.
