The anti-globalization movement of the late 20th century primarily concerned itself with the adverse effects of globalization on labor rights, environmental sustainability, and national sovereignty. Activists argued that globalization, driven by corporate interests, exacerbated inequality and led to the exploitation of workers, particularly in developing countries. Additionally, they highlighted environmental degradation linked to multinational trade practices. Opponents of globalization sought to protect local economies and cultures from homogenization and advocated for fair trade practices, labor rights, and environmental protections. The movement often brought together various social justice causes, emphasizing the interconnectedness of global issues.
