"In this thesis, I use the metaphor of the prism to explain this; a prism refracts light into its basic elements, revealing the spectrum within the most basic of phenomenon. Here, prismatic refers to the characteristic of underlying diversity within apparent unity. The first challenge we are posed with is that alternative globalisation processes (both as movements and discourses) are prismatic in their organisational composition. While the underlying diversity to a movement / discourse / process is not a new phenomenon, and commentators remarked very early on over the alliance between Teamsters and Turtles during the Battle of Seattle (Kaldor, 2000), and later through the Porto Alegre WSFs, I understand Alternative Globalisation, and the WSF(P) as a platform for AG, to befundamentally prismatic in its composition. Therefore, there is no one discourse or perspective that can be offered to explain either AG or the WSF(P)."
