International Forum on Globalization (IFG): It is an establishment constituted by activists, economists, scholars and researchers that analyses and criticizes the cultural, social, politic and environmental effects of economic globalization and runs north-south research and is instructive. It was established in 1994. The most important criticism of the organization is the lack of criticism for “free trade” and “neo-liberalism” or the institutions and treaties such as World Trade Organization (WTO), IMF and North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). IFG encourages more equal, democratic and ecologic economies that can be alternative to neo-liberalism or to globalization. In its alternative search, the Forum highlights living democracy, supporting local, ecologic sustainability, joint heritage, diversity, human rights, business and life, food security, equity and precaution principle. Besides, the Forum claims that the institutions of globalization, IMF, WTO and WB are under legitimacy crisis.
