ABSTRACT

Since the 1990s transnational campaigns of resistance to neoliberal policies and trade agreements have emerged from streams of activism at the national and regional level. Environmental, human rights, and labor activists, along with development nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and peasant organizations have come together from both the North and the South in response to efforts of corporate and political elites to push a procorporate global economic agenda through international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
