占领华尔街运动（OWS）的当地表现形式已在世界各地兴起，人们对祖科蒂公园（纽约）采用的参与式风格充满热情。然而，早期关于这些技术在建立多样化和可持续运动方面的局限性的教训却很少受到关注。美国的大部分讨论都忽略了 OWS 如何与反对企业主导的全球化的长期全球斗争联系起来。此外，许多 OWS 站点所实行的共识模型已经具体化到了迷恋的边缘。美国的活动人士尚未有效地吸收全球正义活动的许多经验教训，包括需要进行全球分析和战略，以及对共识实践如何排除受该运动所反对的结构伤害最大的人们更加敏感。这项研究借鉴了我们对占领匹兹堡（宾夕法尼亚州）以及美国社会论坛和世界社会论坛（WSF）的参与，比较了每种环境下的参与式民主实践，并找出了组织广泛联盟反对资本主义全球化的经验教训。
Local manifestations of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) have emerged around the world with enthusiasm for the participatory style used in Zuccotti Park (New York). However, less attention has been paid to earlier lessons about the limits of these techniques for building diverse and sustainable movements. Much of the discussion in the USA ignores how OWS is connected to the long-term and global struggle against corporate-led globalization. Also, models of consensus practiced in many OWS sites have become reified to the verge of fetishization. Activists in the USA have yet to effectively incorporate many lessons from global justice activism including the need for a global analysis and strategy as well as greater sensitivity to how consensus practices can exclude people most harmed by the structures the movement opposes. This study draws from our involvement in Occupy Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) and in the US Social Forum and World Social Forum (WSF) to compare the participatory democratic practices in each setting and identify lessons about organizing broad coalitions against capitalist globalization.
