	Global Justice Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The term Global Justice Movement is an alternative term to describe the loose collection of individuals and groups who advocate fair international trading rules and are critical of current institutions of global economic governance - like the World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.
		The movement is often labelled the anti-globalization movement by the mainstream media.
		However, as the alter-globalization term, "Global Justice Movement" rejects the term "anti-globalization", which may also include proponents of national sovereignty and others' nationalistic views, quite opposed to the humanist, anti-capitalist and universalist perspective of activists working for another form of globalization.

		Globalization skeptics claim that in spite of all its multicultural rhetoric, globalization is really a vehicle for colonizing the world in the image of the North American consumer.
		.globalization is bringing about the devastating destruction of local traditions, the continued subordination of poorer nations and regions by richer ones, environmental destruction, and a homogenization of culture and everyday life.
		It is also important to point out the sociological dimension of the movement in that the activists and their globally interconnected groups and NGOs have created a kind of global 'civil society' that has strengthened human interaction and the potential for collective human action on a global stage outside of the traditional national context.

	What is the global justice movement?
		Our stand is not against anything that has the word "global" in front of it (since when did we oppose global solutions to climate change?), but against global capitalism, which debases every thing to a commodity and every human relationship to a "meeting in the market-place".
		The current global justice movement was born in November 1999, when 60-80 000 people demonstrated in Seattle at a meeting of the WTO.
		The movement took its name and its heart from Seattle, that is solidarity with the oppressed and exploited masses of the South.

		The united front in the global justice movement has narrowed; in particular, the link of young activists with the trade union movement is fraying severely.
		Freedom Road believes the answer is straightforward: The anti-war movement should continue to be the main work of global justice forces as long as war is on the agenda.
		The globalization struggles of the last few years have helped bring the more experienced activists within the movement to a relatively high level of understanding of the relationship of the U.S. to the rest of the world.

	Cornell International Law Journal: Global Justice Symposium
		Global Justice is a topic of growing concern among economists, philosophers, and international lawyers that focuses on the distribution of resources, risks and opportunities within the global economy.
		Taking a more comprehensive view than many poverty relief or anti-globalization initiatives, the Global Justice movement seeks to develop a more complete theory of the appropriate worldwide distribution of risk and reward, as well as practical means of putting this theory into practice.
		Global Justice will be of interest to anyone with a focus in international development, human rights, international financial institutions, and theories of justice.

		Some maintain that globalization is an imagined geography; that is, a political tool of ruling neo-liberalists, who are attempting to use certain images and discourses of world politics to justify their political agendas.
		A consequence of economic globalization is increasing relations among members of an industry in different parts of the world (globalization of an industry), with a corresponding erosion of national sovereignty in the economic sphere.
		Globalization (or globalisation) is a social change, an increased connectivity among societies and their elements due to transculturation; the explosive evolution of transport and communication technologies to facilitate international cultural and economic exchange.

	portland imc - 2004.04.04 - The Global Justice Movement: Criticism of Globalization
		As institutions of corporate globalization and the global hegemony of capital deteriorate and die, democratic institutions must be, and are being, created and fostered by the global community of people dedicated to the constuction of a new world based on social justice and environmental sustainability.
		The first strand of this new movement is the global opposition to the war in Iraq and to an American empire.
		Today's social justice activists are not against globalization of community, justice and resources, they protest the economic globalization coordinated by the powerful few that results in their profiting from the work of the majority of the world's population.

	Global justice and the war
		The war in Afghanistan presents in concentrated form everything that the global justice movement opposes–the enforced will of the great powers on small and weak nations, while workers in advanced countries bear the brunt of a recession and a crackdown on civil liberties.
		For example, many in the global justice movement believe that the main problem with corporate globalization is that multinational corporations and international financial institutions compromise state sovereignty–for example, undermining U.S. environmental laws.
		The movement must reappraise its politics, strategies and tactics if it is to meet the challenges posed by this war–and to pursue the goal of global justice.

		The health of the economy could shade the mainstream public's receptivity to the global justice movement in general, and the DA component in particular.
		On the other hand, it has been a "jobless economic recovery." The global justice movement can cite this as evidence that the corporations are profiting, and wealthy people are investing their Bush-tax-break-dollars into the stock market, while workers are discarded in a race to the bottom for cheap labor.
		The global justice movement is maturing into a truly global movement, due in part to networking over the past several years through frameworks like the World Social Forum.

		As Naomi Klein has pointed out, this movement (perhaps better described as a confluence of movements) has been declared dead with some regularity since it was first "spotted" in Seattle, and it is not clear that the diagnosis is any more fitting this time than it has been in the past.
		Both the peace movement and the globalization movement need to become internationalist, and the presence of immigrants throughout this country is too valuable a tool to let rust.
		Global activists were applying very effective pressure on global governing institutions, transnational corporations, and governments before September 11.

	United for Peace : Campaign Proposals: Linking with Global Justice Movement
		We are proposing a major uniting of the movements for peace and justice and the movements against corporate globalization.
		This is the first global call that definitively links the two, in the context of the meeting of the secret global government (the WTO.) In addition, doubtlessly, there are many who will say that the WTO, as a multilateral entity, is a solution to the unilateralism of the US imperial agenda.
		We need the support of United for Peace and Justice to ensure that it is really a coalition effort among anti-war and anti-corporate globalization movements in the US, and ensure its success both, in Derailing the WTO and in building a movement for Another World Is Possible.

		The two peace movements which did outstanding work in creating and sustaining THE JOURNEY were the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society and the New Zealand Foundation for Peace Studies.
		Hence the position taken by many peace movements - that THE JOURNEY is 'too difficult' for the lay audience, who (according to the precepts of the MAVM) need the centralizing and rapidly moving methods of the Monoform and narrative, in order to grasp the message.
		In other words, my experience indicates that branches of the Global Justice Movement have unfortunately also fallen into step with the practices of the mass media, with regard to their own audiovisual 'relationship' to the public.

		As his subtitle suggests, there were many visions for the movement on display at the WSF — so many, indeed, that the author begins “to think, treasonably, that far from not having any alternatives, this movement has too many of them”.
		He asserts that this “new” movement, which is “inspired by Zapatismo and radical democracy, that speaks a new language, promotes new ideas and wants no party or vanguard to lead it, can never make its peace with dogmatic statists from the Utopian left”.
		The former involves measures such as the abolition of the global financial institutions, a reigning in of corporate power in favour of “the commons” and a democratisation of global decision-making.
