Page "Anti-globalization movement" Paragraph 18

Many participants ( see Noam Chomsky's quotes above ) consider the term " anti-globalization " to be a misnomer.

The term suggests that its followers support protectionism and / or nationalism, which is not always the case-in fact, some supporters of anti-globalization are strong opponents of both nationalism and protectionism: for example, the No Border network argues for unrestricted migration and the abolition of all national border controls.

S. A. Hamed Hosseini ( an Australian sociologist and expert in global social movement studies ), argues that the term anti-globalization can be ideal-typically used only to refer to only one ideological vision he detects alongside three other visions ( the anti-globalist, the alter-globalist and the alter-globalization ).

He argues that the three latter ideal-typical visions can be categorized under the title of global justice movement.

According to him, while the first two visions ( the alter-globalism and the anti-globalism ) represent the reconstructed forms of old and new left ideologies, respectively, in the context of current globalization, only the third one has shown the capacity to respond more effectively to the intellectual requirements of today ’ s global complexities.

Underlying this vision is a new conception of justice, coined accommodative justice by Hosseini, a new approach towards cosmopolitanism ( transversal cosmopolitanism ), a new mode of activist knowledge ( accommodative consciousness ), and a new format of solidarity, interactive solidarity.
