Dr. Thomas Ponniah is a Lecturer on Social Studies, Assistant Director of Studies, and Faculty Associate of the Project on Justice, Welfare and Economics at Harvard University.
He is the co-editor of Another World is Possible: popular alternatives to globalization at the World Social Forum , and one of the co-authors of Unholy Trinity: the IMF, World Bank and WTO. Thomas Ponniah's doctoral dissertation focused on globalization, development, social theory and social movements and was completed in the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University in Massachusetts.
From 1992 to 2000 Professor Fisher taught in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University, where he was Director of Graduate Studies in Anthropology and a Dillon Fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. He also taught at Princeton University and Columbia, where he served as assistant director of Columbia's Center for South Asian Studies and directed the Economic and Political Development specialization at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. His research centers on the social and environmental impact of large dams, forced displacement, transnational advocacy, competition over natural resources and non-governmental organizations. His research and work for such agencies as CARE, USAID, and the UNDP have taken him to several continents. Other research activities, mostly in South Asia, include ethnic associations, competition for natural resources, non-governmental associations, and the role of participation and community-based institutions in development planning and action.
William Fisher’s first sabbatical (2007) since coming to Clark provided him with the opportunity for new research and travel. This past year he gave lectures, presentations and media interviews in Nepal, Kenya, France, and San Jose. In January 2007, he participated in the World Social Forum in Nairobi, Kenya and, while there, enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with IDCE alums. During the past year he has been the co-director of the Difficult Dialogues program at Clark University and is heading the Clark partnership of aids2031.
Many believe that there are no alternatives to globalization as we know it--with its world of giant corporations in the driving seat, dominating a "free" market in reality shaped in accordance with their dictates, and elevating economics over all other human considerations and values. But there are alternatives. And the global justice movement is giving voice to them. In this remarkable collection, the compilers have brought together some of the most important themes and voices which these rapidly growing, diverse citizens' movements have expressed at the World Social Forum which gathers each year in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

左派和社會運動積極分子所辦的World Social Forum 2002年的文件和討論閤集,可以一窺這一派彆對全球化議題的看法。整本書的中心詞:參與式民主。環境保護靠它,科技發展和知識産權靠它,資本管製和公司管理要靠它,軍事和戰爭決策也要靠它,甚至婦女權益保護和女權主義的擴展也是要靠它,總之參與式民主幾乎是形形色色的提案對解決全球化下問題所提齣的少數幾個可以共通的解決辦法。讀過的人很難不被裏麵的激情和美好的描繪所感染。然而細想之下,卻不得不為這些人的想象力匱乏和缺少對技術性問題的分析和感到有些害怕。書的題目是Another World is Possible,但按照這裏麵的提案,真的possible嗎?參與式民主是一種紙麵上的美好論證,還是實際上確實有效果?
