ABSTRACT
The chapter that follows marks our final stop in the twentieth century. We pause at a point almost two decades into the Washington Consensus. It is a watershed moment just months before what became arguably the most public confrontation between Washington Consensus backers and opponents: the November 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle, Washington. By then, the more country-specific and fledgling citizen opposition we observed in our earlier time travel had transformed into a strong, organized, global, and multisectoral citizen opposition to Consensus policies and institutions—the alter-globalization movement.
