This is the main web site for the 2nd Intercontinental Encounter for Humanity and Against Neoliberalism that was held in Spain at the end of July 1997. It is a multilingual site in the sense that it contains more or less the same material in Spanish, Catalan, German, English, French and Italian (depending on what has been translated into which languages). It contains the convocation to the Encounter, a list of collaborating European groups (often with e-mail addresses), a methodological paper spelling out the principles of the Encounter, sub-pages --organized by workshop theme-- containing papers which have been prepared for the Encounter, various logo drawings submitted to a competition, and links to related sites.

(http://www.icf.de/yabasta/neolib.htm)This page was created as a spin off of first, the European continental Encuentro held in Spring 1996 in Berlin and second, the Intercontinental Encuentro held in Chiapas at the end of July 1996. A contribution to the construction of a RICA (see above), it contains a variety of documents focused on the analysis and struggle against neoliberalism on the one hand, and on the construction of a global network on the other. It contains the materials generated in Europe as well as the RICA proposal offered by Accion Zapatista de Austin. The materials it makes available are mainly thoughtful analyses of the issues at hand rather than news stories about events; although it does intend to carry reports on specific struggles against neoliberalism within Europe.

http://www.imaginet.fr/~rekall/zapindex.htmlZapatista - Undocumented Encounter. This French site consists of a photo-novel made up of photographs taken at the Odeon meeting of the Zapatistas and Undocumented Workers (Sans-Papiers) into which dialog balloons have been inserted to create a comic and pointed commentary on the course of this much debated meeting. The doctored photos are also linked to other pages which contain some of the arguments over the meeting that occurred in its wake, and, more importantly links to Sans-Papiers web pages which contain a great deal of information about immigrant struggles in France. Such has been the debate over this incident that an interactive web forum has been created within European Counter Network system where people can post their interpretations and argue with those of others.
