Activity One - Comprehension

As we are getting close to the exams a number of lessons will be put a side to comprehension work to 'crack' through the remaining elements of the course. This syllabus point is asking you discuss what anti-globalisation groups there are and how they are viewed. Answer the following questions using your 'Global Interactions' text book by Guinness pages 203 - 205.

1. What do critics highlight the problems of globalisation are?
2. Give three examples of anti-globalisation movements.
3. What backgrounds do the anti-globalisation movements have?
4. What are the main concerns of Trade Union organisations?
5. What evidence of demonstrations is there against the World Trade Organisation?
6. Define market creep.
7. Write a summary of what the organisation 'Focus on the Global South' main objectives are.

Activity Two - Case Study

To be able to discuss this syllabus point successfully in the exam it is good to develop a case study of an anti-globalisation movement. I would suggest you focus on the World Trade Organisation protests on May day as we also this happening here in Geneva. When developing your case study consider the following points:

• What are the main aims of the anti-globalisation movement?
• How have has the movement put these aims in to practice?
• How successful has the movement been?
