Grassroots Organizing in the Global South
June 14, 2000
Listen/download helpBefore the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, the concept of globalization was not widely recognized in the United States. Now, people are forming networks with others around the world in a common fight against global economic integration, with people from the Global South leading the way. On this program, we take a look at the international grassroots response to globalization.
