THE INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON GLOBALIZATION:
The International Forum on Globalization (IFG) is a new alliance
of leading activists, economists, researchers, and philosophers
who have joined together to respond to the threats of economic
globalization to the environment, communities, human rights,
equity, and democracy.
We believe the world's corporate and political leadership is
undertaking a restructuring of global politics and economics that
may be as historically significant as any event since the
industrial revolution. If continued, this trend will have grave
impacts on every aspect of human life, and on the natural world.
This event is the first in a series to be held in the United
States, Canada, and abroad, to focus increased attention on the
major issues resulting from the rush to globalize.
For more information on IFG, contact the International Forum on
Globalization, 950 Lombard Street, San Francisco, CA, 94133,
