Alternatives to Globalization and Militarization

EPICA's Alternatives to Globalization and Militarization program seeks to raise awareness in the Global North about the historic roots of war and poverty in the Americas and the negative impact of the current trends of corporate globalization and militarization. It also seeks to support grassroots movements of the Global South as they struggle to build just, equitable and sustainable alternatives.

For the next three years, we will accompany and support the Convergence of Movements of the People of the Americas (COMPA), and produce resources that will educate people in the Global North about important issues of trade, development and debt, including the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas and Plan Puebla-Panama. Given the current war context, this program will seek to expose the causes and effects of militarization in the Americas and to inform debate on the issues of militarization around the world.
