6. Choose ONE of the following examples of anti-globalization responses to research and answer the questions about them:

1. “Battle of Seattle”

2. Brexit

3. Creation of fair trade companies

4. Advent of locally developed social media platforms (Weibo in China)

1. What happened during this event?/What led these companies to be created? Give some context around the event or creation of a company.

Polls found that the main reasons people voted Leave were "the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK", and that leaving "offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders."

1. What type of response is this to globalization? (Think SPICE themes)

Brexit is a rejection of globalization.

1. How is this an anti-globalization response?

More than merely tossing aside the EU, this vote represents a rejection of globalization and the implicit trade-off of some democratic control over economic policy for prosperity. It’s an exchange that more citizens across the world, including the United States, are unwilling to make – often believing they can earn the same gains without a loss of economic control.

1. What happened as a result of this response?

For Europe, the negative consequences and challenges of Brexit go way beyond the GDP effect: the EU lost about one-sixth of its economic power and a far greater share of its foreign and security policy weight with the exit of a country which has considerable global influence.
