anti-globalisation

Opposing worldwide integration

Anti-globalisation describes opposition to the economic and political integration of nations through free trade, multinational corporations, and international institutions like the World Bank or IMF.

The movement gained visibility through protests in the late 1990s: Anti-globalisation demonstrators clashed with police outside the trade summit.

Critics argue globalisation benefits wealthy nations and corporations at the expense of workers, local economies, and the environment.

Also spelled anti-globalization.
