Drawing on the case of Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest with the focus on debt relief issue, this paper analysis how the alter-globalization movements affect the inclusion of principles of greater equality and democracy into the globalization process. The paper compares neoliberalism and alternative underpinnings, offers an overview of the Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest, and analyzes G8 debt relief approaches presented in the Genoa G8 Summit. The author finds that the Genoa Group of Eight Summit protests shed light on alternative globalization movements limited if important impact the promotion of human rights in the ongoing and unequal processes of globalization the world over.
