Produktinformationen zu „Alter-Globalization (ePub)“
Contrary to the common view that globalization undermines social
agency, 'alter-globalization activists', that is, those who
contest globalization in its neo-liberal form, have developed new
ways to become actors in the global age. They propose alternatives
to Washington Consensus policies, implement horizontal and
participatory organization models and promote a nascent global
public space.
Rather than being anti-globalization, these activists have built
a truly global movement that has gathered citizens, committed
intellectuals, indigenous, farmers, dalits and NGOs against
neoliberal policies in street demonstrations and Social Forums all
over the world, from Bangalore to Seattle and from Porto Alegre to
Nairobi. This book analyses this worldwide movement on the bases of
extensive field research conducted since 1999.
Alter-Globalization provides a comprehensive account of these
critical global forces and their attempts to answer one of the
major challenges of our time: How can citizens and civil society
contribute to the building of a fairer, sustainable and more
democratic co-existence of human beings in a global world?
