	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.
		Anti-globalization militants worried for the proper functioning of democratic institutions as the leaders of many democratic countries (Spain, Italy, Poland) were acting against the wishes of the majorities of their populations in supporting the war.
		A seventh trend is the rising rate of literacy; between 1950 and 1999, global literacy increased from 52 percent to 81 percent, and female literacy as a percentage of male literacy increased from 59 percent in 1970 to 80 percent in 2000.

	Journalism and Mass Communications--Washington and Lee University (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		By "global journalists" I am not referring to reporters who cover news outside their own borders, but rather to reporters who understand all of the connections and interrelated concepts involved in the biggest economic story of the new millennium - globalization - and are able to communicate this story effectively to their audiences.
		Globalization is a promising counterpoint to the Cold War that divided the world into two spheres of influence, pitting the Western alliance and the Soviet bloc and their respective client states against each other.
		Globalization also has costs, and these costs can be assessed only within a moral framework that strikes a happy balance between the creation of wealth through corporate economic investment and quality of life for the individual citizen.

	Document/Essai - Nancy Thede - Democratic Development 1990-2000: An Overview - 2002
		Often taken to be a set of institutions and a corpus of laws, the rule of law is better understood as a culture of legality (6), a society where citizens and institutions have integrated rule-based conduct as a basic element of their values and functioning.
		The critique of globalization is generating new perspectives on the weaknesses of democratic institutions and processes, both in new democracies and in established ones.
		Democratic transitions provide new opportunities for negotiation and redefinition, and in many cases women have been able to achieve important changes in the constitution, in the definition of their legal rights, and on the terrain of violence against women.

	POL214 Paper
		Indeed, while the terms “globalization” and “post-modern” are somewhat controversial in their own right—there is much academic debate surrounding their very existence—it is very clear that there is something different about the world we live in.
		As Björn Hettne states, “Globalism implies as its ideological core the growth of a world market, increasingly penetrating and dominating 'national' economies, which in the process are bound to lose some of their nationness (1).
		Despite globalization’s tendency to create a global culture, it unequally affects different societies, and the “democratic deficits” it creates are often different in the developed and developing worlds (Hettne 1).

	[No title]
		Globalization should weaken the states--the strongest existing, world-wide hierarchical political authority--by expanding options for polities, individuals, and groups subordinated within them to establish relations beyond them, participate in decisions of higher levels of both public and private organizations, and to join alternative ones.
		The overall globalization of the locality in terms of exports, imports, the media, workers, tourists, even pollution, as judged by the local leaders is not positively related to democratic values, but it is with the value of a market economy.
		One interpretation of these over-time correlations is that the relationship in communities that were doing well globally and democratically early in the 1990s extended and strengthened the global orientation and commitment to democratic values of their leaders.

	Richard Sandbrook - Research
		The latter distinction lies in the compression of the phases of industrialization, democratization, and extensions of social citizenship in the global south, whereas in Europe these phases occurred sequentially over the course of nearly a century.
		Globalization, which features as a major constraint on development policy in my current research on social democracy, directly occupied my research energies during 2000-2002.
		I edited and contributed to Civilizing Globalization: A Survival Guide (Albany: State University of New York Press, forthcoming 2002), which is inspired by a vision of a social-democratic globalization that contrasts with the dominant neoliberal vision.

	What is Globalization?
		Globalization means the spread of free-market capitalism to virtually every country in the world.
		Citizen movements counter that the policies and processes of corporate globalization are destroying the real wealth of the planet while advancing a primitive winner-takes-all competition that inexorably widens the gap between rich and poor.
		Although the most visible among them are those who have taken to the streets in protest, equally important and even more numerous are those struggling to rebuild their local communities and economies in the face of the institutional forces aligned against them.

	Globalization, International Democracy and a World Parliamant
		National governments are unable to submit globalization to democratic control, while international organizations are nothing but places where sovereign states co-operate to try to solve global issues.
		The plan to bring globalization under democratic control is meeting with formidable opposition not only from authoritarian regimes, but primarily from the U.S. Government, which won’t let its power be lessened by IOs or global civil society.
		In fact, most global civil society movements, striving for peace, the protection of the environment, international justice and the defense of human rights, do not yet have a strategy for achieving these goals.

		In this section we are primarily concerned with the movement of political ideas such as democracy and human rights and the diffusion of scientific knowledge especially in the fields of technology and communications---and with its impact on society and culture on a global scale.
		One of the goals of globalization, after all, is to genuinely have an internationalized civil society made up of free citizens from many different countries.
		In Asia, the record of democratization is mixed./ China, Cambodia, Myanmar, North Korea and Vietnam are classified as "not free".

	The Democracy Deficit: Taming Globalization Through Law Reform.
		By turning the lens to globalization’s domestic side, we can both advance understanding of the contemporary world and, within the United States, develop approaches to reforms that would expand and strengthen democracy in the various governmental and nongovernmental settings where policy is made and applied today (p.6).
		The key to understanding the vertical dimensions of globalization is to move away from “a federalist analogy to the relationship of international organizations to domestic law toward the more pragmatic, pluralist, and flexible arrangements by which national and international legitimacy and democracy might be strengthened simultaneously” (p.85).
		Chapter 3 considers privatization and deregulation, what Aman calls “the horizontal dimensions of globalization.” The main example Aman develops is the privatization of prisons but there are passing references to other examples of the new public-private partnerships in the delivery of social services, such as education and welfare.

	Commanding Heights : Naomi Klein \| on PBS
		It's about do you maintain the democratic right to engage with capital and engage with investment somewhat on your own terms, and that these trade agreements have come to represent a legal process that is systematically taking those tools out of the hands of government.
		It's a different form of globalization, which is a globalization that starts with human need and a definition of what the public good is, and what rules and standards will we need to fulfil that.
		If you have that right protected, then a lot of the discussion about having a global minimum wage or somehow creating a global labor standard becomes beside the point, because the real issue is that workers are able to negotiate for themselves in their countries and in their factories.

	The Globalization Website - Issues
		The issue of controlling or regulating globalization concerns elite officials of states and intergovernmental organizations as well as opponents of neoliberalism in pursuit of global justice.
		This concern has given rise to a now-fashionable interest in "global governance," or the design of institutions that authoritatively manage and regulate actions, processes, and problems of global scope or effect.
		Though advocates of global governance portray it as enhancing democracy, defenders of traditional democratic values and state interests have questioned such claims.

		Only countries with democratic governments, however papery, can be a part of the 800 million-people common market known as the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).
		Despite all the perils, demonizing globalization and the trade bloc frenzy it has spawned remains far more popular in the U.S. and Canada than South of the border, where small, economically struggling countries face astronomical unemployment rates.
		It's not that the prospect of globalization doesn't stir up a myriad of anxieties; it's that, with the socialist utopia dead, and state economic intervention discredited, there's no other game in town.
