This article examines the emergence of what popularly is called the antiglobalization movement. Rather than looking at the worldwide movement, the focus here is on the opposition to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), which first was proposed in 1994 and is to be implemented by 2005. While briefly examining the efforts to negotiate the FTAA, the main focus is on the gradual emergence of the anti‐FTAA forces, their main critique of the agreement and corporate globalization in general, and how the forces aligned against the FTAA fit into the larger antiglobalization movement. Finally, the article analyzes the concepts behind the movement for free trade and how it fits in with traditional concepts of imperialism.

AbstractThe Anglian region is one of the driest areas in the UK, with often potentially conflicting demands for limited water resources. Experiences over the last thirty years are described in relation to the development of a policy to satisfy the needs of both public water supply and the environment. Examples of the relationship between water resource development and water‐dependent environments are described together with the role of demand management. Concerns are raised as to the future expectations of water supply customers, the long‐term effect of demand management and the expectations of the regulators and environmentalists.
