There is a small linguistic difference between "globalisation" and
"mondialisation".

Globalisation is a process which concerns all social spheres - economics,
politics, culture, telecommunications, etc. On the other hand,
"mondialisation" means globalisation, but only in the political sphere. So
it is a narrower term than the former. Therefore, "altermondialisation"
movement could mean that its members are not against globalisation in
general, but are opposed to the politics of leading countries towards
developing countries, or something like that.
