Abstract

The alterglobalist movement is the most important phenomenon of the antisystemic resistance at the beginning of the century. Turning radically against the capitalist nature of domination, its dynamic has three principle components that are both different and complementary: the negativity of its resistance, its concrete proposals, and its utopian quest for another world.
