Moral pressure for responsible globalization : religious diplomacy in the age of the Anthropocene /
:
In Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization , Sherrie M. Steiner offers an account of religious diplomacy with the G8, G7 and G20 to evoke new possibilities in an effort to influence globalization to become more equitable and sustainable. Commonly portrayed as 'out of control', globalization is considered here as a political process that can be redirected to avoid the tragedy of the global commons. The secularization tradition of religion depicts faith-based public engagement as dangerous. Making use of historical materials from faith-based G-plus System shadow summits (2005-2017), Steiner provides ample information to arrive at an interpretation that significantly differs from traditional accounts. Using broader scope conditions, Steiner considers how human induced environmental changes contribute to religious resurgence under conditions of weakening nation states.

Continued Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization, Volume II : The G20 Interfaith Forum During Unsettled Times (2018-2023) /
:
If you are worried about the future of the earth and her inhabitants, then this book is for you. Authors from East and West document collaborative efforts that identify diverse faith-based ethical responses to global challenges. The history of this cosmopolitan fragile partnership with governments illuminates a positive pathway that affirms human rights and promotes sustainable solutions. We employ a new interfaith model built on the political philosophy of loyal opposition to demonstrate an openness to dissent and diversity as a way of cultivating trust. Contentious issues are addressed from climate change and geopolitics to human rights and religious freedom.
