Brill Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization: Religious Diplomacy in the Age of the Anthropocene: 30 (International Studies in Religion and Society, 30)

Product Description In Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization, Steiner offers an account of religious diplomacy with the G8/G7 and G20 to evoke new possibilities to steer globalization in more equitable and sustainable directions in the Age of the Anthropocene. Review "Rigorous, inclusive, and extensive, Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization is an exemplary model of transdisciplinary scholarship that not only contributes new knowledge otherwise lost between the interstices of disciplines, but also addresses at its core the ethical imperative of globalized responsibility for the ecosystems upon which our lives depend. At a time when the era of globalization is characterized by "governance without government," mounting uncertainties, and "wicked problems" such as the metastasizing of religiously motivated violence, Moral Pressure for Responsible Globalization is indispensable literature for religious studies scholars and political scientists alike." - Adam Loch, University of Denver/Illif School of Theology, Reading Religion March 2018 "This impressive and well-researched book provides readers with new insights into the politics at the juncture of religion and transnational environmental policy." - P. Sean Morris, University of Helsinki, Finland, International Affairs 95: 6, 2019. About the Author Sherrie M.
