Page "Global justice movement" Paragraph 4

The movement is often labeled the anti-globalization movement by the mainstream media.

Those involved, however, frequently deny that they are anti-globalization, insisting that they support the globalization of communication and people and oppose only the global expansion of corporate power.

The term further indicates an anti-capitalist and universalist perspective on globalization, distinguishing the movement from those opponents of globalization whose politics are based on a conservative defence of national sovereignty.

It is, however, argued by some scholars of social movements, that a new concept of justice, alongside some old notions, underlies many critical ideas and practices developed in this movement.

S. A. Hamed Hosseini coins this new mode of conceptualizing justice accommodative justice and argues that both the very unique nature of the movement and the global complexities of the post-Cold War era can be accounted for the rise of such notion.

According to him, " this new concept of justice has emerged from many activists ’ experiences of and reflections on the complexities of globalization ".
