S. A. Hamed Hosseini coins this new mode of conceiving justice as accommodative justice and argues that both the unique nature of the movement and the global complexities of the post-Cold War era account for the rise of such a notion.
According to him, "this new concept of justice has emerged from many activists’ experiences of and reflections on the complexities of globalization".
[4] Important organizational pillars of the movement are Via Campesina, the family farmers' international; Peoples' Global Action, a loose collection of often youthful groups (NB the apostrophe correctly indicates involvement of peoples, rather than people); Jubilee 2000, the Christian-based movement for relieving international debt; Friends of the Earth, the environmentalist international; and some think-tanks like Focus on the Global South and Third World Network,[5] as well as some large internationalist and transnational trade union organisations.
While the World Social Forum is supposed to promote an example of this emphasis, bringing activists together from around the world to focus on shared philosophy and campaigning, others, like South African politician Andile Mngxitama see the World Social Forum as mostly dominated by Northern NGOs, donors and activists, and argue that Southern representation is largely organized via Northern donors and their NGOs.
Mngxitama also expressed that popular organizations in the global South are systematically marginalized or included in a deeply subordinated manner.
