Abstract: | Despite the clashes in Genoa, the anti-globalisation movement and democratic governments should work together to preserve the world from a conflict between 'McWorld' and Jihad. They have very similar targets, foremost among which is their common aim of defending human rights and protecting poor countries from the increasing power of corporations. Outside of a close relationship between democratic governments and the anti-globalisation movement, there is no way to achieve global equity and a global governance of resource flows. While the anti-globalisation movement is more nimble and popular than democratic governments, democratic governments are more authoritative and powerful than the anti-globalisation movement. This 'Holy Alliance' has become even more necessary after September 11. |
