Abstract
In one of the most dramatic public demonstrations since the end of the Vietnam War, more than 40,000 citizens filled the streets of Seattle, Washington in the closing weeks of the twentieth century to protest against the World Trade Organization and corporate globalization. Why? By analyzing arguments for and against contemporary free trade policies in light of the history of the idea of free trade, the history of the institutions in charge of globalization management, and a recent attempt at creating a global constitution for finance (the Multilateral Agreement on Investment), this essay seeks to clarify the challenges and dilemmas faced in the “constitutionalization”; of our increasingly interconnected global community.
