Anti-Globalization Organizations
and the European Social Movement: In or Out ?
The aim of this article is to examine the relationship
between the Europeanization process and the anti-globalization agenda in
Europe. It is based on fieldwork, observations and interviews carried out in
the framework of the European research project EUROPUB (2001-2004).
The emergence of a European public space generates a whole series of questions
for the anti-globalization movement: how can it integrate the European
level into its usual issues ? Should it gain leverage from this space of political
opportunity to build gradually a broader transnational movement, or should
it disregard and denounce it as a tool of neo-liberalism, like most other international
organizations ? Controversies that arose inside ATTAC France
about the setting up of ‘100 % alternative globalization’ lists for the European
elections of June 2004 bring to light the many rifts dividing the antiglobalization
movement, and perfectly illustrate the challenge European
integration poses for anti-globalization activists, torn between the options of
participating in the political game, acting as an opposition force, or standing
back from the fray.
