Identify and select an alter-globalization movement or campaign related to your theme. Remember that, in contrast to true “anti-globalization” movements, alter-globalization movements are not opposed to transnational integration. In fact, many alter-globalization movements support increasing global integration, but only in certain ways. Crucially, they are critical of one or more important aspects of the kind of globalization we have seen over the past few decades. Often, they are specifically critical of ‘G’ or neoliberal globalization, though it may not always be as simple as that. While some particular policies of major organizations like the WHO or UNICEF could be seen as having “alter-globalization” qualities, usually the term is used to refer to grassroots social movements and/or civil society organizations in which normal people, NGOs and sometimes local governments play a central role. (Some examples of groups involved in alter-globalization work include Extinction Rebellion or Slum Dwellers International).
Note: For this assignment, you can think of protest movements as having informal, fluid and decentralized organizational structures, while campaigns are more formal in their organization and specific in their focus. Campaigns may help further the goals of a movement. For example, the anti-sweatshop movement in the 1990s included campaigns targeting specific companies like Nike or The Gap. You may focus on either a movement or a campaign for this project.

Create a powerpoint presentation in which you describe the route you will take across time and continents and the sites you will visit and why. Provide basic historical information and include major attractions in keeping with the basic themes studied in this course: people and their natural environment; the development and interaction of cultural systems (religions, arts, sciences); state-building and conflict (wars, revolution, forms of government); the formation of economic systems; and the development of social structures. E.g. you might take your visitors to the Silk Road as an example of the global cultural, economic, and social interaction in antiquity; or you might include a stop at the mosque in Kufa, a site that marked the emerging Sunni-Shia split. Your tour may range far and wide across continents and time, or it may be themed. For suggestions of themed tours see below. However you structure the route, you need to begin by deciding a starting-point in time (prehistory, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Harappa, etc.) and then move forward in time. In other words, the journey should make geographic as well as chronological sense.
