The struggle over globalisation nomenclature has seen a first victory in France, where the initially harsh portrayal now has a softer ring to it. "Alter globalisation movement". In contrast to rowdy "anti-globalisation protesters", these "alter-globalists" are more thoughtful, forward looking (in some cases visionary), caring and, most importantly, they offer viable alternatives to corporate globalisation. 2, record 3, English, - alterglobalist

L'alter-mondialisation regroupe tous les mouvements, syndicats, individus qui sont pour un «monde autrement». Sans rejeter totalement la mondialisation, les alter-mondialistes se battent pour une répartition plus juste des richesses, un meilleur respect de la condition humaine et de l'éthique dans la production économique (par exemple : les travailleurs des pays du Tiers-Monde exploités pour produire des vêtements à bas prix), un meilleur respect de la Terre et de la santé publique. 3, record 3, French, - altermondialiste

Pendant trois jours, dans des forums pleins à craquer ou sur les stands des associations, les altermondialistes ont dit et redit les raisons de leur colère : la libéralisation des services, le démantèlement des droits sociaux, notamment les retraites, la décentralisation, la «répression policière», les brevets sur le vivant, la surconsommation, l'intervention américano-britannique en Irak, la politique israélienne vis-à-vis des Palestiniens. 1, record 3, French, - altermondialiste
