Anti-globalization

From The Matrix

Jump to: navigation, search

Anti-globalization is a political stance of opposition to the negative aspects of globalization. Though the mechanisms of globalization abuse are often poorly understood in the western world (see Ford Foundation), the popularity of this stance grew in the late twentieth century mainly due to emotional calls to combat corporate imperialism and the conquest of third world nations. Alternate terms include anti-corporatization, altermondialism or alterglobalization. The stance is generally in line with human rights NGO's, socialist, public interest, anti-corporate and anti-imperialist.

Anti-globalizationists are generally marginalized by a process of identifying them as anti-business in the news media; most organizations and individuals identified as such are actually globalization-critical instead.
