If anyone get's the chance, read Global Village, or Global Pillage. It explains globalization and the harm it is doing to countries and how we are all in a race to the bottom by cutting wages, cutting social programs and cutting job security. And it has viable solutions to the problems and how to counter the affects of globalization.

Neoliberalism hurts the many and benefits the few. Are you a nationalist? Then you probably hate the fact corporations export your nation's labor force to other countries. Are you a liberal who believe in humane treatment of workers, regardless of national origin? Then you likely despise international corporations that hire mercenaries to execute union representatives in South America and other third world countries. Neoliberalism is the most evil system devised in the late 20th century.

@Thunderthor1988 You have things to gain from the total domination of the world by a few and insanely powerful group of people who demand only dominion over others and the means of control of the rest. Be it power over their economies, cultures and beliefs? shut up then

Another misconception of Anti-Globalization is anti-capitalism.

You don't need solutions to know that something is wrong.

in fact let's just call it the 'anti-Washington Concensus movement' (I should have used that in an essay, damn) to better articulate the goals. The IMF, World Bank & US Treasury are all on the same street in Washington, there is something fishy going on there. But then the International Labour Organisation is only a few doors down from the IMF branch in Geneva, so that's like putting the 'Communists' and the capitalists together at a football match and saying "Go for it boys"... maybe not.

carefully.Good job on articulating the goals of the movement. Many people just resort to "corporations are evil dude" without getting in and analysing the debate. And yes to the person who said globalisation can be utilised to protect the environment, there are some ways that globalisation can benefit, but not the way it is currently being managed. Read about Joseph Stiglitz former World Bank cheif & critic of neoliberal globalisation, oh and ofc the 'Washington Concensus'.

Agreed, I'm an International Relations student and did a unit politcal economy. You could call it the anticapitalist movement, or at least as being opposed to the neoliberal paradigm that is so dominant atm. it argues against the 'trickle down effect' myth, if we continue to deregulate markets to the extent we are there are some very real dangers. You can''t 'shut down' globalisation its inevitable but no credible anti-globalist/anti-neoliberal is sugesting we do, but it has to be managed ...

@Thunderthor1988 I have just as much a right to an opinion as you. Why do you go line up against the wall?
