I do remember when there was a strong left "anti-globalisation" movement, mostly focused on the "G8" and "G20" meetings. Two things seem to have contributed to ending that: one is heavy police action against the violent demos, and the other is the rise of "rightwing anti-globalisation" which tends to be anti-immigrant and anti-semitic.

Joseph Stiglitz and Naomi Klein are probably the standard starting points for reading about anti-globalisation.
