Anti-globalization movements Movement whose participants are opposed to capitalism and globalisation. The philosophy of the movement is based on the belief that individuals and organizations can achieve social, personal and economic goals without the negative consequences associated with capitalism. The anti-globalization movement places more emphasis on economic efficiency and human decency versus corporate competition and profits at any cost.

How do AGMs gain attention? What do AGMs want? 1. TNCs and nation-states to be accountable for all citizens. 2. Long-term and short-term impacts of economic activity to be included in all decision making processes. 3. Spread the benefits of globalization further to reduce marginalization and disparities.

EG “Focus on the Global South” Group that challenges organizations to consider the needs of marginalized groups. Their name is linked to the ‘poor south’ beneath the Brandt line. Offices in Thailand, Philippines and India – strong focus on Asian nations. Linked to population density in this region? Goal is to “meet the needs of oppressed people” by allowing equal opportunities in accessing basic necessities eg, concern over water-privatization in Philippines. Assembled 3000 civil society individuals at ASEAN (Association of SE Asian Nations) conference meeting (March 2014) to spread international awareness and move toward their targets. Difficult to pin-point specific actions eg “derailed Doha WTO meeting”. Illegal? Seems successful in spreading word and ideas, but limited effectiveness in driving real visible change.
