| description | Against left globalism, which argues that the forces of globalization have fundamentally weakened the nation-state, this paper proposes that this sphere continues to be critical both for the imposition of ruling-class interests as well as for the resistance and construction of a popular-democratic alternative. To the extent that the roots of social movement organizations are local, they will be able to focus on environmental and socioeconomic issues that are specific to their localities and will be able to develop democratic participation mechanisms. The practice of the Mexico’s Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) is used to illustrate this popular-democratic political alternative promoted from the bottom up. |

To the extent that the roots of social movement organizations are local, they will be able to focus on environmental and socioeconomic issues that are specific to their localities and will be able to develop democratic participation mechanisms. The practice of the Mexico’s Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) is used to illustrate this popular-democratic political alternative promoted from the bottom up. En contra del globalismo de izquierda que arguye que las fuerzas de la globalización han debilitado fundamentalmente a los Estados-nación, aquí se propone que esta esfera sigue siendo crítica, tanto para la imposición de los intereses de las clases dominantes, como para la resistencia y construcción de una alternativa popular-democrática. En la medida en que las raíces de las organizaciones sean locales, podrán enfocarse en los temas ambientales y socioeconómicos específicos de sus localidades, y podrán desarrollar mecanismos de participación democráticos. La práctica del Ejercito Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (México) se usa como ilustración de esta alternativa de política popular-democrática impulsada desde abajo.
