Ghimire, Kleger B.

This paper explores the complexities and potential for change inherent in a new wave of global movements concerned with patterns of development and globalization. This paper discusses five of these movements: debt relief, trade, Tobin tax, anticorruption, and fair trade. The author assesses their organizational structure, social base, claims, methods of action and results.
