Victory in Miami? Focusing Global Justice Efforts Beyond FTAA

"Good news has arrived for people concerned with workers' rights and the state of the environment in the hemisphere: When trade ministers meet in Miami this month to negotiate the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), their talks will probably fail.

However, it will also present an important challenge for the global justice movement."
