Alter-Globalization by Geoffrey Pleyers
What is alter-globalization? There are those who aren't really anti-globalization, but oppose the dominance of the neo-liberal economic model on the world stage. With this work Geoffrey Pleyers attempts to establish alter-globalization as the term for the globally-minded who don't want to see the Washington Consensus rule the world. Pleyers isn't the first to use this term, but his work in this book helps give the idea some substance and depth.
Why this is progressive/liberal: The alter-globalization movement is at its core a fight for social justice. From opposing slavery to working for women's suffrage around the world, the progressive movement often transcends national borders.
