Which period is associated with the anti-globalization movement, marked by financial crises, income inequality, terrorism, and new nationalism?

• A. 1999-present
• B. 1980-1999
• C. 2010-2020
• D. 1970-1998

Answer: (A)

Late 1990s to the present best explains the anti-globalization movement. The backlash grew most visibly around the 1999 Seattle protests, signaling a shift against neoliberal globalization and its perceived impacts. Since then, concerns about financial crises, widening income inequality, terrorism, and the rise of new nationalist currents have continued to shape the movement, keeping it active into today. Earlier periods describe globalization’s rise or quieter phases of resistance, while later decades bring different dynamics that don’t capture the movement’s starting point. So the 1999–present window is the best fit.
