ANTI-GLOBALIZATION MOVEMENT
The anti-globalization movement is a social
movement critical of the globalization of corporate
capitalism. The movement is also commonly referred to as
the global justice movement , alter-
globalization movement, anti-globalist movement, anti-
corporate globalization movement, or movement
against neoliberal globalization. Participants base their
criticisms on a number of related ideas. What is shared is
that participants oppose what they see as large, multi-
national corporations having unregulated political power,
exercised through trade agreements and 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.

Criticism
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 2002–2007
than during any other period on the record.
The increase in universal 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.
The WTO is 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 as alternative
globalization, alter-mundialization—from the
French "alter-mondialisation"—or the global
justice movement) is the name of a social
movement whose proponents support global
cooperation and interaction, but oppose what
they describe as the negative effects
of economic globalization, feeling that it often
works to the detriment of, or does not
adequately promote, human values such
as environmental and climate
protection, economic justice, labor
protection, protection of indigenous
cultures, peace and civil liberties.
