Abstract:

This article aims to review the developing literature, which is rarely translated into Turkish, on feminist involvement in alternative globalisation movements. It also reflects the author’s personal analysis based on observations during participation to various social movement activism platforms in Europe. The article discusses the historical aspect of international women’s movement; origins of alternative globalisation movements; the obstacles that are faced by women’s movements during the attempts to actively take part in shaping the discourses of alternative globalisation as well as the resistance strategies developed by feminists to overcome these obstacles and; the oppression systems identified as the enemy by feminists. Following the literature review on these listed issues the article will focus on NextGENDERation Network as the case study of struggles to integrate feminist discourses to the alternative globalisation movements.
