PART THREE
Anti-globalization Academic Research and
Movements
Views from scholars and economists
Walden Bello: Deglobalization
Peter Evans: Counter-hegemonic globalization
William I. Robinson: Global justice movement or Anti-globalization
movement
Amartya Sen: Third world development must be understood. Policies
should focus on health and education, not simply GDP
Immanuel Wallerstein: His early criticism of global capitalism and
championship of “anti-systemic movements” have made him a grey
eminence of anti-globalization movements
Introduction of Joseph E. Stiglitz
An economic sciences nobel prize winner
A former senior vice president and chief
economist of the World Bank
Critical view of the management of globalization, laissez-faire
economists, and some international institutions like IMF Bank
IMF leads to imperfect information and incomplete markets, then
the invisible hand works most imperfectly
Governments can improve the outcome by well-chosen interventions
1999 Seattle battle/WTO protests
N30, anti-globalization became widespread
Occurred at WTO meeting in Seattle on November
30, 1999
More than 40000 protestors, over 600 protestors
were arrested
The Genoa G8 Summit Protest
Occurred at G8 summit in Genoa, Italy, in 2001
Over 300,000 protestors, the largest scales of
protests at that time

Unable to
2
provide solution
Fears held by Anti-globalizationalists
The Destruction of indigenous cultures and the disappearance of
native languages
Excessive exploitation of natural resources damages the natural
balance of ecosystem
The gap between the rich and poor countries is widening
The WTO, IMF and the World Bank create trade conditions that
benefit rich countries at the expense of individuals in the poorer
countries
Conclusion
Anti-globalization movements are the indication of
self-protection. Anti-globalization movement has the
clear standpoints in opposing global capitalism, war
terrorism, and the international operation of power
politics
Establish international monitoring system. Each
country should build up a system that can integrate
into the global market, International institutions
should be more responsible for all the countries, and
disclosure information to other countries
Conclusion
To enhance corporations between countries and
regions, make free trade fair for both developing and
developed countries, and create equal and balance
development of economic market and protect its
soundness efficiently
To protect the democratization of the politics and
realization of civil rights, drive the development of less
developed countries, respect the distinctiveness of
culture and narrow the gap between the rich and the
poor
