| | Trade justice campaigning has come a long way in just a few years. In the words of one NGO colleague, the ideas of trade justice have moved from the lunatic fringe to the mainstream faster than we thought possible. As NGO campaigning on trade has matured it has also evolved from an initial focus on agricultural subsidies and the World Trade Organization to include a much broader range of issues and institutional targets. It is not only the issues, the campaign terrain, that have changed but campaign tools have become more varied too. After discussing the different phases of trade justice campaigning I will give a few examples of how different campaign tools work to effect change. |
