A Special Double Issue

After Seattle: A New Internationalism?

The protests against the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle in
November and December 1999 surprised people across the globe. Massive,
militant actions took place in the United States, the stronghold of
global capitalism, for the first time in decades. New alliances were
built between labor and environmentalists, young and old, radicals and
reformers. This special double issue of Monthly Review examines several
facets of the movement that has seized the spotlight since Seattle and
asks what is required for it to become truly internationalist. Articles
cover a range of topics, including globalization; labor's role in the
Seattle protests; a historical understanding of internationalism; and
voices from the global South calling for unified strategies against
capitalism.

Readers familiar with recent protests against international financial
institutions and transnational corporations, including the ones against
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in April 2000,
will find fresh analysis here and those who are new to the issues will
discover clear, accessible approaches to some of the burning questions
of our time. Written for a wide audience, this special issue of Monthly
Review promises to be an invaluable resource for scholars as well as
activists.
