Movement of Antiglobalization

Definition
Movement whose participants are opposed
to capitalism and globalization.
The philosophy of the movement is based on the belief
that individuals and organizations can achieve social,
personal and economic goals without the negative
consequences associated with capitalism.
The anti-globalization movement places more
emphasis on economic efficiency and human decency
versus corporate competition and profits at any cost.

Terminology
The term anti-globalization movement has more often been
imposed by movement critics and by the media than used for self-
identification. Many activists reject the label, arguing that the term
falsely implies a stance of isolationism. A hallmark of the
movement is its use of advanced communications and Internet
technology to unite activists across borders.
Ideology and causes within the movement

There are many different causes championed by movement
members, including labor rights, environmentalism, feminism,
freedom of migration, preservation of the cultures of indigenous
peoples, biodiversity, cultural diversity, food safety, organic
farming, opposition to the green revolution and genetic
engineering, and ending or reforming capitalism.
Many of the protesters are veterans of single-issue campaigns,
including forest/anti-logging activism, living wage, labor union
organizing, anti-sweatshop campaigns, homeless solidarity
campouts, urban squatting, urban autonomy, and political
secession..
Movement Origins
"It didn't start in Seattle" serves as widely accepted slogan among
globalization activists, refuting the belief common in the
mainstream media that the movement first arose in protests against
the WTO's Third Ministerial Meeting in 1999. Many participants
and theorists instead trace the lineage of the movement through a
500-year history of resistance against European colonialism and
U.S. imperialism
The Seattle round of trade negotiations deadlocked when
developing nations, bolstered by grassroots resistance, rejected
U.S. and European demands.
