- Synopsis
- From Bolivia to New Zealand, from South Africa to Russia and China, this is a round-the-world tour of resistance to neoliberalism. The anti-globalization movement is truly global, each region has its own specific groups and agendas, this book presents writers and activists from every continent to provide a truly international view of alternative social and political struggles.*BR**BR*Struggles against capitalism, privatisation, social exclusion and exploitation are mobilising many thousands. This book examines what has been achieved so far. The authors examine the World Social Forums as a dynamic for moving things forward. They explore the global anti-war movement and the successful mobilisation for the protests of 15th February 2003; they analyse new media strategies; and they offer a disturbing account on new police arrangements to control demonstrators.*BR**BR*Edited by Francois Polet, who is a member of the Tricontinental Centre and the World Forum for Alternatives -- a group that plays a prominent role in the World Social Forums -- the book includes contributions from Donatella della Porta, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Verity Burgmann, Paola Manduca and Bernard Dreano.
