ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in this book. The global justice movement's attempts to build alternatives to neoliberal globalisation are vitally impacted by struggles over knowledge. It outlines the relationship between neoliberal globalisation, the global justice movement, and struggles over knowledge. Knowledge needs to be understood in the context of other systems of power: it is both shaped by and constitutes social and economic power structures. Neoliberal globalisation has been supported in part by particular scientific narratives and technological changes. Global justice activists also rely on gaining legitimacy for grassroots, embedded, and embodied knowledge systems. The Indian movement has foregrounded the risks of GM crops to producers. The opposition to GM crops has primarily been framed through reference to swadeshi and the opposition to neoliberal globalisation. A significant part of the Indian anti-GM movement's work has also been directed at the need to provide alternatives to GM crops, and to Green Revolution monocropping more generally.
