The global justice movement describes the loose collections of individuals as living as groups—often spoke to as a “movement of movements”—who advocate fair trade rules together with are negative to current institutions of global economics such(a) as the World Trade Organization.

The movement is often labeled the anti-globalization movement by the mainstream media. Those involved, however, frequently deny that they are anti-globalization, insisting that they guide the globalization of communication and people and oppose only the global expansion of corporate power. The term further indicates an anti-capitalist and universalist perspective on globalization, distinguishing the movement from those opponents of globalization whose politics are based on a conservative defence of national sovereignty. It is, however, argued by some scholars of social movements, that a new concept of justice, alongside some old notions, underlies numerous critical ideas and practices developed in this movement. S. A.

According to him, "this new concept of justice has emerged from numerous activists’ experiences of and reflections on the complexities of globalization".

Participants include worldwide student groups, NGOs, trade unions, faith-based and peace groups, and publications such as New Internationalist.

For this reason many grassroots movements in the South boycott the forum and the NGOs that gate-keep relation at the forum or, in some instance, actively oppose it as just one more space of domination.[]
