A Special Double Issue
After Seattle: A New Internationalism?
The protests against the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle in November and December 1999 surprised people across the globe. Massive, militant actions took place in the United States, the stronghold of global capitalism, for the first time in decades. New alliances were built between labor and environmentalists, young and old, radicals and reformers. This special double issue of Monthly Review examines several facets of the movement that has seized the spotlight since Seattle and asks what is required for it to become truly internationalist. Articles cover a range of topics, including globalization; labor's role in the Seattle protests; a historical understanding of internationalism; and voices from the global South calling for unified strategies against capitalism.
Readers familiar with recent protests against international financial institutions and transnational corporations, including the ones against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in April 2000, will find fresh analysis here and those who are new to the issues will discover clear, accessible approaches to some of the burning questions of our time. Written for a wide audience, this special issue of Monthly Review promises to be an invaluable resource for scholars as well as activists.
