APEC:
Globalisation with Solidarity -
the Other Face of the Summit
The other face of this weekend's
summit of Asia-Pacific leaders
in the capital of this South
American country will be the
Chilean Social Forum, which is
calling for ”globalisation with
solidarity” as an alternative to
a global economic order based on
the predominance of the
free-market ”neo-liberal” model.
A network of 200 civil society
groups are organising the Social
Forum, which will coincide with
the presence in Chile of U.S.
President George W. Bush, the
most prominent of the leaders
who will be attending the
Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) summit.
The Social Forum will kick off
at noon Friday with a march that
organisers hope will draw at
least 10,000 demonstrators.
