Abstract

The paper analyses the very special process which led the Confédération Paysanne (CP) to become part of the antiglobalization movement. In the first part, after a brief introduction to the specific range of radical protest against the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in the seventies and in the eighties, the author describes the inward outcomes of the 1992 CAP reform. And he tries to put on a local viewpoint the démontage of the McDonald’s restaurant in Millau (August 1999) which was the beginning of the obvious involvement of the CP at the heart of the antiglobalization movement. The second part deals with the post-Millau events and discusses the contradictory effects of the new visibility in the media of the CP claims.
