This is an indispensible handbook for global activists that takes the
reader on a round-the-world tour of resistance to neoliberal
globalization. Although the anti-globalization movement is truly
global, each region has its own specific groups and agendas. Most books
concentrate on the European and American movements. This book is
different -- writers and activists from every continent summarise what's
going on in their area to provide a truly international view of
alternative social and political struggles. From Bolivia to New
Zealand, from South Africa to Russia and China, these struggles against
capitalism, privatisation, social exclusion and exploitation are
mobilising many thousands. Increasingly, these groups are exchanging
ideas, particularly at the new Social Forums of Porto Alegre and Mumbai.
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. Edited by François 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.
