ABSTRACT
To capture what is distinct about the contemporary flight of social forces to the world economy, some have written of a more modest internationalism (Lipietz 1993), others of grass-roots (Waterman 1988; 1992a) or demodernizing (Friberg and Hettne 1988) internationalism. In many works (including my own), Foucault’s idea of ‘resistance communities’ guides the appraisal of what is being born of current movements (Amoure 1997; Cunningham 1988; Drainville 1995a; 1997; Mittleman 1998; Munck 1992; NEFAC 2001; Ong 1987; Pile and Keith 1997; Schwartz 1997).
