摘要：Th is paper examines the major structural characteristics of the anti-corporate globaliza-tion movement, its key bases and antecedents, its relationship with other global social move-ments (GSMs) and the key challenges it faces in the post-9/11 period. We suggest that despite the potential of the anti-corporate globalization movement to usher in major social changes, the movement faces a number of major crossroads in terms of ideology, discursive approach, and overall strategy. We argue that there has been coalescence of a good many GSMs, including the international environmental movement, under the banner of the anti-corporate global-ization movement. We focus primarily on the interrelations of these two GSMs, noting that over the past decade there have been trends toward both the "environmental ization" and "de-environmentalization" of the anti-corporate globalization movement. While the defection of many mainstream environmental groups from the " Washington consensus" and the resulting environmentalization of the trade and global-ization issue were critical to the "Seattle coali-tion," there has been a signifi cant decline in the movement's embrace of environmental claims and discourses, and a corresponding increase in its use of social justice discourses. One implica-tion of our analysis is the hypothesis that while the current vitality of the anti-corporate global-ization movement can be gauged by its having adopted an increasingly coherent ideological stance in which international inequality and global corporate dominance are targeted, to be successful the movement will need to coher-ently ideologically integrate social justice with environmental and sustainability agendas. Th e amenability of the environmental GSM to such ideological integration will have important ra mifi cations for the future trajectory of the anti-corporate globalization movement
