Are there existing alternatives to corporate globalization? What
are the prospects for and commonalities between communities and
movements such as Occupy, the World Social Forum and alternative
economies? Globalization Development and Social Justice advances
the proposition that another globalization is not only possible,
but already exists. It demonstrates that there are multiple
pathways towards development with social justice and argues that
enabling propositional agency, rather than oppositional agency such
as resistance, is a more effective alternative to neoliberal
globalization. El Khoury develops a theory of infraglobalization
that emphasizes creative constitution, not just contestation, of
global and local processes. The book features case studies and
examples of diverse economic practice and innovative emergent
political forms from the Global South and North. These case studies
are located in the informal social economy and community
development, as well as everyday practices, from prefigurative
politics to community cooperatives and participatory planning. This
book makes an important contribution to debates about the prospects
for, and practices of, a transformative grassroots globalization,
and to critical debates about globalization and development
strategies. It will be of interest to students and scholars of
international relations, globalization, social movement studies,
political and economic geography, sociology, anthropology and
development studies.
