The term, "anti-globalization movement" (AGM), is inaccurate & shifts public attention away from the real purpose of protest against aspects of global capitalist ideology. Names that accurately describe the pro-active efforts of this movement include Comprehensive Globalization Movement (CGM), Mobilization for Global Justice (MGJ), & Movement for Global Democracy (MGD). The CGM goal is for globalization to be achieved holistically, with consideration to social & political integration as well as economic trade. The MGJ studies the plight of workers who lose jobs to the South & the working conditions of those who inherit those jobs & draws parallels between today's globalization & the previous colonial system. The MGD seeks for representation from the common people in global decision making & for local control in conjunction with global control to respond to human rights & environmental protection. L. A.

Purpose
The apparent onset of an era of anti-globalization creates significant challenges for international business (IB) practice, research and education. This paper aims to discuss the implication of these challenges for IB scholarship.


Design/methodology/approach
This essay assesses the needs for research in IB in view of the challenges posed by the anti-globalization movement.


Findings
The author identifies and analyzes two sets of concerns of the anti-globalization movement: the unequal distribution of the benefits of globalization and emergent constraints on national sovereignty. On that basis, he offers suggestions on how international business scholars may contribute to addressing these challenges through research, teaching and public engagement.


Practical implications
Businesses need to understand the economic and institutional arguments motivating the anti-globalization movement and to address them within their scope of activity.


Social implications
Globalization benefits societies, in general, but some groups do not benefit unless specific remedial action is taken. If these groups are not supported, they can cause political disruption to IB and, hence, economic prosperity.


Originality/value
This paper offers a pathway for IB scholars to contribute to discourses on globalization and anti-globalization.
