From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Anti-globalization is a designation of an "opposition to globalization". It is a political stance, in line with socialist, public interest, anti-corporate, and anti-imperialist values. Those who hold anti-globalization views claim that "globalization" is simply a new term for "imperialism", in that globalization (like imperialism) is a conquest philosophy with various tools at its employ, covering numerous military, political, and economic measures. Some people prefer the use of term altermondialism or alterglobalization.
All and all, anti-globalizationists are marginal in today's politics, and most organizations and individuals identified as such are actually globalization-critical instead (e.g. ATTAC).
