The corporation is the subject of a growing, spiraling conflict. The streets of Seattle, Quebec, Washington D.C., Cancun, La Paz, Genoa, Seoul, Johannesburg, Buenos Aires, Mumbai, Zurich, Miami, Hong Kong, and many another city, hold the footprints of the contestants over the status of corporations in international law. As is often the case, myriad differences among the many parties have faded in the light of a defining conflict. Two camps remain. One camp, gathering in the World Social Forum process born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, raises as its banners the sanctity of the natural world, and the sovereignty of people over corporations.
