We study property (α) for closed convex subsets of locally convex spaces and we prove that the quasi drop property implies property (α). Moreover, if the locally convex space is complete, property (α) implies weak compactness. Thus, if every closed, convex and bounded subset of a complete locally convex spaces E has property (α), then E is semi-reflexive.
