How do the international conferences participate in resisting the globalization movement?

Résumé du document

Globalization is a phenomenon that appeared in the early 20th century. It refers to an increase in the interdependence of the economies, societies, cultures and politics. Globalization has disrupted the face of the World since its apparition. Indeed, international relations are now dominated by the specter of globalization. "Talking about globalization in terms of dialectic than in terms of homogenization or heterogenization is a much better way of looking at the contemporary situation". This phenomenon can be seen as the end of national identities and individual freedoms. This is why a reaction has not waited to appear: resistance. There exist various forms of resistance to globalization all over the World in order to defend different interests, privileges or rights. I will present a few examples of international actions to resist globalization with the aim of preserving a mentality (struggle against Americanization), a peaceful World (with international organizations against war), an economic independence (with local resistances), or an international recognition (with the International Women movement).

[...] The workers are the first concerned about the phenomenon of globalization. Their daily conditions are disrupted by the international reorganization. In order to resist this trend that concretely has a negative impact on their personal situation, workers decided to unify their effort. “Given the global reach and assault of capital, working class organizations have increasingly felt the need to coordinate their own actions”[5]. Therefore, an alliance between various working class organizations can have a deeper impact in the fight against the spread of globalization and can raise their credibility and legitimacy up. [...]

[...] My thesis here is that international conferences are actually an efficient way to resist globalization. My main argument is that they present a real international alternative to an international phenomenon. By presenting their volition to preserve their interests and by providing a substitute solution, international conferences can push the World on another way than the one traced out by globalization. What are the principal ideas in the globalizing process that the international conferences are created against? What are the dangers of the globalization process for the international community that these conferences are trying to point out and stop? [...]
