Alter-Globalism: Difference between revisions

Help

There is no precise date for the beginning of the alter-globalist movement. It is rooted in the protest movements of the early 1980's1980s in southern countries with the fight, first against Third World's debt and the IMF's structural adjustment plans, then against the WTO. Alter-globalism appears in part as a conjunction between different Western currents critical of capitalism, and anti-imperialist currents in the South.

The movement generally opposes economic liberalism and the financial globalization to promote a more social economy and redistribution of wealth. These demands are reflected in a search for alternatives, global and systemic, to the international order of finance and trade. Its culture is makedmarked by the libertarian left tradition and/or radical ecology. The movement oscillates between reformism (for example the demand for the "Tobin Tax" advocated by the ATTAC organization at its fundationfoundation) and more radical views.
