Description

This volume examines the emergence of the movement of resistance that has arisen to challenge neoliberal forms of globalization. The authors describe how workers, environmentalists, human rights activists and a wide variety of other groups have joined together to protest against institutions such as the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank. By providing a collection of social scientific analyses, this volume significantly advances our understanding of what is probably the most important progressive movement of our time.
