ANTI-GLOBALIZATION

MOVEMENT
The anti-globalization movement is asocial
movementcritical of theglobalizationof corporate capitalism.
The movement is also commonly referred to as theglobal
justice movement , alter-globalizationmovement, anti-globalist
movement,anti-corporateglobalization movement,or
movement againstneoliberalglobalization. Participants base
their criticisms on a number of related ideas.What is shared is
that participants oppose what they see as large, multi-national
corporationshaving unregulated political power, exercised
throughtrade agreementsand deregulated financial markets.
Specifically, corporations are accused of seeking to maximize
profit at the expense of work safety conditions and standards,
labor hiring and compensation standards, environmental
conservation principles, and the integrity of national
legislative authority, independence and sovereignty.

1. Unorganized Movement.
2.Lack of evidence
Critics assert that the empirical evidence does not support the views of
the anti-globalization movement. These critics point to statistical trends
which are interpreted to be results of globalization, capitalism, and the
economic growth they encourage.
There has been an absolute decrease in the percentage of people in
developing countries living below $1 per day in east Asia (adjusted for
inflation and purchasing power). Sub Saharan Africa, as an area that felt
the consequences of poor governance and was less responsive to
globalization, has seen an increase in poverty while all other areas of the
world have seen no change in rates.
The world income per head has increased by more over period 20022007
than during any other period on the record.
The increase inuniversal suffrage, from no nations in 1900 to 62.5% of all
nations in 2000.
4.Lack of effectiveness
One argument often made by the opponents of the anti-
globalization movement is that one of the major causes
of poverty amongst third-world farmers are the trade
barriers put up by rich nations and poor nations alike.
TheWTOis an organization set up to work towards
removing those trade barriers. Therefore, it is argued,
people really concerned about the plight of the third
world should actually be encouraging free trade, rather
than attempting to fight it. Specifically, commodities
such as sugar are heavily distorted by subsidies on
behalf of powerful economies (the United States,
Europe, and Japan), who have a disproportionate
influence in the WTO. As a result, producers in these
countries often receive 2-3x the world market price. As
Amani Elobeid and John Beghin note, the world price
might decline by as much as 48% (by 2011 / 2012
baselines) were these distortions to be removed.
5.Lack of widespread "Third World" support
Critics have asserted that people from poor have been
relatively accepting and supportive of globalization while the
strongest opposition to globalization has come from wealthy
"First World" activists, unions and NGOs. Alan Shipman, author
of "The Globalization Myth" accuses the anti-globalization
movement of "defusing the Western class war by shifting
alienation and exploitation to developing-country
sweatshops." He later goes on to claim that the anti-
globalization movement has failed to attract widespread
support from poor and working people from the developing
nations, and that its "strongest and most uncomprehending
critics had always been the workers whose liberation from
employment they were trying to secure.
 Alter-globalization

Alter-globalization(also known asalternative

globalization,alter-mundializationfrom the
French "alter-mondialisation"or the global justice
movement) is the name of asocial movementwhose
proponents support global cooperation and
interaction, but oppose what they describe as the
negative effects ofeconomic globalization, feeling
that it often works to the detriment of, or does not
adequately promote, human values such
asenvironmentalandclimate protection,economic
justice,labor protection,protection of indigenous
cultures,peaceandcivil liberties.
