 Alter-globalization (also known as alternative
globalization, alter-mundialization—from the French
"alter-mondialisation"—or the global justice
movement) is the name of a social
movement whose proponents support global
cooperation and interaction, but oppose what they
describe as the negative effects of economic
globalization, feeling that it often works to the
detriment of, or does not adequately promote,
human values such as environmental and climate
protection, economic justice, labor
protection, protection of indigenous
cultures, peace and civil liberties.

5. History
The short history of the alter-globalization movement
can be divided into four periods :-
• The 1990s: The Formation of a Worldwide Movement.
• 2001-2005: Social Forums Become the Heart of the
Movement.
• 2006-2010: A New Geography.
• Since 2011: A New Generation.

6. Typology
Geoffrey Pleyers:
""alter-globalization" activists divide into three distinct currents about
the way forward.
1. The local approach:- The first current of the alter-globalization
movement) considers that instead of getting involved in a global
movement and international forums, the path to social change lies
through giving life to horizontal, participatory and sustainable values in
daily practices, personal life and local spaces.
2. The advocacy approach:- The second current of the movement
believes that the way forward lies through efficient single-issue
networks able to develop coherent arguments in areas such as food
sovereignty and developing-world debt.
3. The state approach:- The third current of the movement holds that
progressive public policies implemented by state leaders and
institutions are the key to achieving broad social change.

7. The alter-globalist movement represents an important
reflection of the contemporary world which came about
in the 1980’s as the result of a process of questioning
and protest, and gave birth to the idea that Another
World is Possible. Alter-globalists do not necessarily
oppose the free market, but a subset of free-market
practices characterized by certain business attitudes
and political policies that often lead to violations of
human rights
By opposing the perverse effects of the
neoliberal globalization, the alter-globalist
movement aims at promoting human values such as
environmental and climate protection, economic
justice, labor protection, protection of indigenous
cultures and human rights.
