Founded in 1981, the Center for the Study of the

In the late 1990's, CENSA became active
in the anti-globalization movement, publishing in 1997 "Globalization
and Its Discontents: The Rise of Postmodern Socialisms." The Battle
of Seattle in late 1999 marked a turning point for CENSA, as more and

globalization and the search for alternatives rooted in popular movements
and the quest for more just and egalitarian societies. |
