Question:

Which of the following statements is correct?

b- In 1999, at WTO Ministerial Meeting there were widespread protests in Seattle alleging unfair trading practices by the economically powerful states.

Options:

Only statement a is correct.

Only statement b is correct.

Both statements are correct.

Neither of them is correct.

Correct Answer:

Only statement b is correct.

Explanation:

Many anti-globalisation movements are not opposed to the idea of globalisation per se as much as they are opposed to a specific program of globalisation, which they see as a form of imperialism.

In 1999, at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Meeting there were widespread protests in Seattle alleging unfair trading practices by the economically powerful states. It was argued that the interests of the developing world were not given sufficient importance in the evolving global economic system.
