GLOBALIZATION

Alter Globalization 
 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.
CRITERIA 
Encouraging informal movement. 
Ensuring Basic rights ,Environmental 
protection & sustainable development. 
Anti corporatist. 
Some government Control.
History 
Factors historically provoking economic integration and 
resistance – 
 The Great Depression. 
 The period of European colonialism. 
 The early post World War II period. 
 The 1970s, when Southern governments banded together to 
pose alternative rules and institutions and when popular 
resistance to different aspects of economic integration spread 
in many nations.
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.
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.
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.
