The radical assurance of the anti-globalisation movement has cast governments, corporations and world trade bodies in the role of ruthless capitalists who care little for the world's poor, or the planet itself.
As a result, the centre left in the UK, Europe and US - whose rise during the 1990's has peaked - has been reluctant to embrace the progressive elements within these global movements. This is despite the fact that the protesters raise reasonable concerns about the legitimacy of the exisiting global institutions.
The Protest Ethic, that thrives on a simplified and media-friendly analysis of globalisation, has politicians on the run at a time when they should meet the challenge head on. In the first authorative analysis of the implications of these new global movements for mainstream politics, John Lloyd sets out clearly why the Bretton Woods institutions such as the WTO must be treated as part of the solution, not the problem.
He argues that by making small, haphazard concessions to the anti-globalisation protesters, the cause of bringing peace and prosperity to the developing world will actually be hindered. Instead what is needed is fundamental reform.
By creating a global market, we are already creating the outlines of a global society. Only with true social democracy on a global scale will it be possible to harness and direct the raw economic power of globalisation in a way that benefits all the citizens of the world.
