ATTAC Seminar in Hong Kong
Our challenge & resistance to neoliberal policy - Another World Is Possible!

The sixth WTO ministerial conference has just started.
However, what could negotiators expect of the WTO talk? All of us are convinced that nothing will be expected there. The WTO is really a place for power race or competition by predators what is called neo-liberalists. Now the WTO is being aborted. We hear death agony from there. This is a signal of bankruptcy of neo-liberalism.

Resistance, struggle or challenge to neo-liberalism is happening everywhere around the world. Here in Hong Kong, we see tens of thousands of voices against the WTO. Farmers, fisherfolks, workers, women, migrants or all of the marginalized have rose up against neo-liberalism.

Now we at ATTAC International will provide ideas or proposal on how we should address neo-liberalism, as well as alter-globalization movement. Please join us! Elaborate our resistance to neo-liberalism through the exchange or discussion of opinions!
