According to Rupp, the key objective is to build a community that is inclusive without denying the validity of particular commitments. While he acknowledges the threat of "resurgent fundamentalism," Rupp also criticizes secularists who fail to recognize or acknowledge the role of religion and its ideological equivalents in influencing public policy. All views, he asserts, are subject to comparative appraisal. The challenge is to develop ways to evaluate different approaches responsibly, leading to a greater understanding of one's own convictions as well as the positions of others.Rupp reinforces his critical and theoretical analysis with dramatic accounts of recent events in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan-places where the International Rescue Committee operates. He then addresses the role of globalization in fueling instability worldwide. Inadequately regulated privatization has compromised health care, education, and social programs in many countries, whereas an inclusive community would encourage a more equitable distribution of resources.Essays by Jagdish Bhagwati, Jeremy Waldron, and Wayne Proudfoot expand Rupp's arguments, and in a final chapter Rupp responds to the issues they raise. Essential reading for anyone who hopes to understand the roots of today's geopolitical tensions, Globalization Challenged asks that we shed our complacency, recognize the legitimate role of conviction, and take actions to shape a more just and inclusive society. 410 0$aUniversity seminars/Leonard Hastings Schoff memorial lectures. 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects 606 $aGlobalization$xReligious aspects 606 $aSocial conflict 606 $aCommunities 606 $aGemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (Sociology) 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aGlobalization$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aSocial conflict. 615 0$aCommunities. 615 0$aGemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (Sociology) 676 $a305.8009/0511 700 $aRupp$b George$01481464 701 $aBhagwati$b Jagdish$0120915 701 $aProudfoot$b Wayne$0284739 701 $aWaldron$b Jeremy$0263108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777700803321 996 $aGlobalization challenged$93698425 997 $aUNINA
