'''Alter-globalization''' (or '''Alter-mondialization''' from the French ''altermondialisme'') is the name of an [[anti-capitalism|anti-capitalist]] social movement which supports the international integration of [[globalization]] but advocates that values of [[democracy]], economic justice, [[environmental protection]], and [[human rights]] be put ahead of purely economic concerns. The term was coined against accusations of [[nationalism]] by [[neoliberal]] proponents of so-called globalization, meaning both a support of [[humanism]] [[Universality (philosophy)|universal]] values but a rejection of the [[Washington consensus]] and similar neoliberal policies. It is henceforth similar to the [[Global Justice Movement]] expression. The "alter-globalization" French movement was thus opposed to the "[[Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe]]" on the grounds that it only advanced [[Tony Blair]]'s "third 'socialist' way".

Alter-globalization is considered distinct from the more widely-used word '[[anti-globalization]]', which is thought to be pejorative by members of the movement. The name may be taken as coming from the popular [[slogan]] of this movement: '[[Another world is possible]]', coming from the [[World Social Forum]].

Originally developed in [[French language|French]] as ''altermondialisme'', it has been borrowed into English in the form of '''altermondialism''' or '''altermondialization'''. It defines the stance of movements opposed to a [[neoliberal]] [[globalization]], but favorable to a globalization respectful of [[human rights]], the [[natural environment|environment]], [[national sovereignty]], and [[cultural]] diversity.
Following the French usage of the word ''[[altermondialist]]'', the English counterpart '[[alter-globalist]]' may be coined.

This movement objects to what it deems as [[neoliberalism|neo-liberal]] globalization. The movement mainly opposes the way it believes that international institutions (such as the [[WTO]], the [[IMF]], and the [[World Bank]]) work towards First World economic interests. In its most radical form, alter-globalization approaches and is confused with [[internationalism (politics)|internationalism]] as put forth by [[communism|communists]], since both oppose a globalization that would prioritize business interests (capitalists) over ordinary people (the proletariat).

The term ''alter-globalization'' is derived from the term ''anti-globalization'', which journalists and others used to describe the movement. Many French journalists, in particular, have since ceased using the term ''anti-globalization'' in favor of ''alter-globalization''. It is supposed to distinguish proponents of alter-globalization from different "anti-globalization" activists (those who are against ''any'' kind of globalization: [[Nationalism|nationalists]], [[Protectionism|protectionists]], [[Communitarianism|communitarians]], etc.).

Advocates of alter-globalization have set up an online global news network, the [[Independent Media Center]], to report on developments pertinent to the movement. Groups in favor of alter-globalization include [[ATTAC]], an international trade reform network headquartered in France.

The largest forum for alter-globalization activity is the annual [[World Social Forum]].
