antiglobalization
Opposing worldwide integration
Antiglobalization describes opposition to economic and political globalization—the integration of markets, trade agreements, and international institutions like the World Trade Organization.
The movement argues that globalization benefits corporations and wealthy nations at the expense of workers, the environment, and local cultures.
Antiglobalization protesters gathered outside the summit.
The term emerged in the 1990s alongside demonstrations against free trade agreements.
