Globalization and Resistance Movements in the Periphery: An Alternative Theoretical Approach

Social resistance to globalization forces is a dominant feature of the current phase of international relations and global political economy. But there exists no satisfactory theoretical framework to study social resistance from the perspective or context of the peripheral societies. This article highlights the problems of theorizing social resistance from the peripheral context, raises new questions about the applicability of the existing Marxist and critical political economy theoretical frameworks to analyze peripheral social resistance, and proposes an alternative theoretical framework where social resistance is defined as a struggle for survival.
Keywords: globalization; social resistance; Marxist and critical political economy perspectives; peripheral societies; struggle for survival
