On one side, arrangements were made by a loose network of protesters for dramatizing their opposition to the WTO and international trade practices. Their purpose was to ensure that the discussions carried on easily while maintaining the activists' rights to peaceful demonstration. Through the preparation process, local leaders ran on the premise the tolerant ethos of the Pacific Northwest would endure.
Readers are requested to consider what lessons can be drawn from this ultimately insufficient security preparation procedure. How might security coordinators have thought differently about the best way to prepare for the summit? What should they have expected beforehand? How could they have developed a better awareness of protesters' activities and strategies? HKS Case Number 1897.0.
