Which of the following statements is correct? Statement B- In 1999, at WTO Ministerial Meeting there were widespread protests in Seattle alleging unfair trading practices by the economically powerful states. |
Only statement A is correct. Only statement B is correct. Both statements are correct. Neither of them is correct. |
Only statement B is correct. |
The correct answer is Option 2 - Only statement B is correct. Statement A- All the anti-globalisation movements are totally opposed to the idea of globalisation per se as much as they are opposed to a specific programme of globalisation. (Incorrect) Statement B- In 1999, at WTO Ministerial Meeting there were widespread protests in Seattle alleging unfair trading practices by the economically powerful states. (Correct) It is important to note here that anti-globalisation movements too participate in global networks, allying with those who feel like them in other countries. Many anti-globalisation movements are not opposed to the idea of globalisation per se as much as they are opposed to a specific programme of globalisation, which they see as a form of imperialism. In 1999, at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Meeting there were widespread protests at 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. |
