The articles assigned to our group was Counterhegemonic Globalization by

Peter Evans. Counter-hegemonic globalization is a social movement based in

a perspective of globalization that challenges neoliberal globalization. Evans
states that transnational connections can be used to bring about more
equitable distribution of wealth, power, and sustainable communities. He
defined counter-hegemonic globalization as “a globally organized effort to
replace the neoliberal global regime with one that maximizes democratic
political control and makes the equitable development of human capabilities
and environment stewardship its priorities.” While he remains as a prominent
theorist who has contributed to the counter-hegemonic globalization theory,
classic Marxist socialist ideas are implicated in the theory.
Currently, local and transnational trade unions play majors parts in the
counter-hegemonic globalization movement, which originated from the
worker's movement. It has expanded to various different fields of social
movements with three primary pillars: the labor, women's, and environmental
movements, respectively.

However, upon reading this article, we have come up with four arguments
towards its content. First, the paper has focused more on transnational
movements instead of the main idea of counterhegemonic globalization
instead. Next, we have noticed that the author is conventional, regionalistic
and Marxist, which greatly affects his argument. Third, Peter Evans’ argument
was one-sided and the evidences were clearly biased. Lastly, his arguments
towards globalization is contradicting to its current status.
