Editing Alter-Globalism (section)

==History==
The term "alter-globalism" or "alter-globalization" stems from a popular slogan of the movement “Another world is possible” which came out of the World Social Forum. The name "anti-globalism" having first been introduced in 1999, alter-globalism was preferred to highlight the fact that the movement was favorable to a form of globalization that would be different from the current [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|neoliberal]] globalization.

There is no precise date for the beginning of the alter-globalist movement. It is rooted in the protest movements of the early 1980s in southern countries with the fight, first against Third World's debt and the IMF's structural adjustment plans, then against the WTO. Alter-globalism appears in part as a conjunction between different Western currents [[File:Anticap.png]] critical of capitalism, and [[File:Antiimp.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Imperialism|anti-imperialist}} currents in the South.
