English

Subject field(s)
  • International Relations
  • Social Movements
  • National and International Economics
DEF

A political movement opposed to the policies of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization, especially increased free trade and open markets, and to the increasing international dominance of multinational corporations and financial institutions to the perceived detriment of the environment and to living standards and human rights in poor countries.

OBS

Unlike globalization, anti or alterglobalization is not an economic process but a social movement.

OBS

antiglobalization and its variants and derivatives: The word commonly used to describe this movement.

OBS

alterglobalization and its variants and derivatives: The term "alterglobalization" is mainly used in activist literature and by the activists of the movement. It was created by French-speaking alterglobalization activists to distinguish proponents of alter-globalization from different "anti-globalization" activists. Its composition (alter=other in Latin) is a clear reference to the slogan of the movement: "Another world is possible."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Relations internationales
  • Mouvements sociaux
  • Économie nationale et internationale
DEF

Mouvement de la société civile qui conteste le modèle libéral de la mondialisation et revendique un mode de développement plus soucieux de l'homme et de son environnement.

OBS

Altermondialisation est le concept qui rend compte de la démarche de construction d'alternatives au paradigme dominant - depuis deux décennies environ - de la globalisation économique, financière et informationnelle. Avec son émergence, il ne s'agit plus d'une simple et systématique contestation de cette globalisation (ce que l'on désigne par antimondialisation), mais [...] de l'expérimentation de nouvelles propositions, de nouveaux modèles d'organisation économique, sociale, politique et culturelle. Il s'agit [...] de forger «un autre monde possible» plus juste, plus équitable et moins chaotique.

OBS

À la différence de la mondialisation, l'anti ou altermondialisation ne constitue pas un processus économique mais un mouvement social.

OBS

altermondialisation, variantes et dérivés : terme créé par les altermondialistes mais désormais largement utilisé dans les médias. En créant cette nouvelle dénomination, les militants entendaient souligner qu'ils ne sont pas opposés à la mondialisation en tant que telle mais attachés à promouvoir une autre forme de mondialisation que celle prônée par la logique libérale. La composition du mot (alter=autre en latin + mondialisation) renvoie au slogan du mouvement : «Un autre monde est possible».

CONT

Los procesos de globalización dieron lugar a la emergencia de un movimiento social heterogéneo desde el punto de vista social, generacional, ideológico y geográfico, conformado por grupos de organizaciones no gubernamentales, sindicatos, ecologistas y anticapitalistas, que se conoció con el nombre de "movimiento antiglobalización" en el sentido que rechazaba de plano a los fenómenos actuales de globalización. Sin embargo, en los últimos tiempos se ha impuesto el uso del término "alterglobalización" para designar a este movimiento, paradójicamente global, basado en primer lugar en que la palabra "antiglobalización" presenta un marcado carácter negativo que se consolida en oposición a la globalización y que no se funda en propuestas positivas; y en segundo lugar, en que se deja en claro que el movimiento no rechaza otras formas diferentes de globalización.

OBS

[Los] grupos altermundistas llevan más de una década trabajando en cuestiones relacionadas con la economía mundial y tienen en común su rechazo al capitalismo y al modelo neoliberal.

Subject field(s)
  • Financial and Budgetary Management
CONT

Sales-to-assets ratio provides an indication of the general efficiency of an organization, which gives an idea of how the assets are used. This ratio measures the ability of the firm to sell goods with one unit of assets. A high sales-to-assets ratio is generally preferable because it indicates a good ability of the firm to generate sales with a minimum of assets. However, since the indicator is a ratio, a high sales-to-assets ratio could be derived from a small amount of assets. In this case, the firm could be providing poor service to its customers or struggling from inefficient production. Similarly, a low ratio may indicate either lower than normal sales or higher than normal assets. Therefore, we should be cautious when interpreting the sales-to-assets ratio.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion budgétaire et financière
