The International Forum on Globalization (IFG) is a San Francisco-based transnational alternative policy group that analyses the impacts of economic globalization, as well as proposals and information tools oriented towards the enhancement of social justice and ecological sustainability.〔Carroll, William. 2015. "Modes of Cognitive Praxis in Transnational Alternative Policy Groups". Globalizations, 1-18. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14747731.2014.1001231〕〔Carroll, William. 2014. “Alternative Policy Groups and Transnational Counter-Hegemonic Struggle.” Pp. 259-84 in Yıldız Atasoy (ed.) Global Economic Crisis and the Politics of Diversity. London & New York: Palgrave MacMillan〕〔http://ifg.org/about/about-us/ About Us] on official website〕It was established in 1994 and first convened as the North American Free Trade Agreement came into effect and in the wake of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the forerunner of the World Trade Organization.〔Carroll, William. 2014. “Alternative Policy Groups and Transnational Counter-Hegemonic Struggle.” Pp. 259-284 in Yıldız Atasoy (ed.) Global Economic Crisis and the Politics of Diversity. London & New York: Palgrave MacMillan〕 ==Goals and activities == Through a claimed network of over sixty activists, economists, scholars, and researchers, the IFG claims to: (1) expose the multiple effects of economic globalization in order to stimulate debate, and (2) seek to reverse the globalization process by encouraging ideas and activities which revitalize local economies and communities, and ensure long-term ecological stability.〔(IFG History ) on official website〕 IFG has developed close ties with activist communities (primarily in the United States) and seeks to support those on the front lines of globalization processes.〔Carroll, William. 2015. "Modes of Cognitive Praxis in Transnational Alternative Policy Groups". Globalizations, 1-18. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14747731.2014.1001231〕 The principal means by which it has done this include: *creating large, high-profile teach-ins in major cities in the U.S. on salient political issues (notably, the IFG teach-in that immediately preceded the 1999 Battle in Seattle), *convening smaller strategic seminars of movement leadership from a wide spectrum to discuss and design political campaigns, and *policy work that is critical of neoliberal globalization and proactive in the articulation of alternatives.〔(IFG Home page ) on official website〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Forum on Globalization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
