On the positive side, the Alliance campaign includes development and promotion of positive alternatives to corporate globalization aimed at redeveloping and linking local economies. Out of this effort has come the Common Agreement on Investment and Society (CAIS) which features a global network of democratic local system organizations, with five supporting democratic international institutions.

The CAIS continues to evolve. Your input is very welcome, especially your experience with local conditions and alternatives. Please explain your suggested revisions, and refer if possible to your experience with local conditions. E-mail< dlewit@igc.org> with your feedback.
