Alter-globalization
Alter-Globalization (or
altermondialization from the French
altermondialisation) is the name of a social movement which supports the international integration of
globalization but demands that values of
democracy, economic justice,
environmental protection, and
human rights be put ahead of purely economic concerns known as
neoliberalism. The term is a positive spin on the more wide used and pejorative word '
Anti-Globalization'.
Groups which advocate Alter-Globalization include ATTAC, an international trade reform network headquartered in France.
Advocates of Alter-Globalization have setup a global news network, indymedia to report on and advocate for the alter-globalization movement.
