520			_aJames Howard argues that the collapse of the Seattle Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 3 December 1999 provided dramatic proof of a deep-rooted change in perspectives which surfaced in Copenhagen five years ago, at the World Summit for Social Development. Seattle showed that efforts to accelerate globalization through narrow trade and investment liberalization proposals which neglect a social dimension or a regard for the concerns of developing countries will fail. Popular dissatisfaction with the social, environmental, and democratic deficits of globalization are reaching an intensity that cannot be ignored. Activities of civil society groups, individually and in coalition, will have a growing impact on the debate. - Reproduced
