About the book
The first decade of the 21st century was marked by a series of global summits which seemed to assume ever greater importance - from the WTO ministerial meeting in Seattle at the end of 1999 to the G8 summits at Genoa, Evian and Gleneagles, up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference at Copenhagen in 2009. But these global summits did not pass uncontested. Alongside and against them, there unfolded a different version of globalisation. Moments of Excess is a collection of texts which offer an insider's analysis of these counter-summit mobilisations.
