      abstract = {The paper investigates the limits and possibilities of  democracy in the context of the globalization of the  economy and society. Employing the case of the tuna-dolphin  controversy, it is argued that though democratic spaces are  available, the boundaries of discourses on democracy are  shrinking. The movement which was able to establish  legislation and procedures which prevented corporate  exploitation of the environment is now divided, and  existing pro-environment legislation is under attack.  Indeed, TNCs have been able to establish a hegemonic  project which drew support from segments of the  environmental and labor movements. The paper reviews recent  events which testify to the erosion of pro-environmental  discourses and the shifting of alliances and solidarities  around pro-TNC projects. The paper concludes with an  analysis of the implications that these recent events have  in regard to democracy in contemporary global capitalism.  In particular, it is maintained that despite the powerful  position of TNCs, they are still subject to contradictions  and vulnerabilities which can be exploited by alternative  movements.},
