Antiglobalization Movement: Obstacles and Opportunities

by Alejandro Bendaña | Jan 1, 2002

Thanks for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you from a South perspective on the future of the obstacles and opportunities for the Anti-Globalization Movement (I don’t think we can buck the term–we’re almost stuck with it).
