description The anti-globalization and labor movements were produced by historical events and cultures that did not help them converging, nor mutually reinforcing their aims and means of action. Yet, today, two circumstances are decisively changing their context of operation: in a dozen of years, at the global level, the “great doubling” of the labor factor compared to capital, and the “democratic yearning” that characterizes the political and social state of contemporary societies, in the North as in the South. Examining the recent reaction of, significantly, the labor movement the author concludes that we are seeing the premises of a genuine civil society organized at the global level, whose guiding principle is to reorient globalization toward a global democratic project.
