Routledge Catholic Peacebuilding and Mining - Routledge Studies

This comprehensive volume examines how Catholic peacebuilding initiatives address challenges within the global mining industry, connecting extraction activities to broader issues of conflict, human rights, sustainable development, governance, and environmental justice. The book positions the Catholic Church as a uniquely positioned institutional actor with extensive theological, ethical, and practical resources to acknowledge mining's essential role while simultaneously challenging unethical practices and promoting integral peace, development, and ecological responsibility. Drawing on theology and ethics, this work provides readers with critical perspectives on reconciling economic development with social justice and environmental stewardship in resource-extraction contexts.
