Alter-globalization

     From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

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.
