The
negative impact of (economic/neo-liberal) globalisation is
well known and it has been denounced by activists of civil
society, humanist intellectuals, as well as spiritual and
religious leaders. Since the motivating force of (economic/neo-liberal)
globalisation is short-term material/economic profit, it is
expected that the most credible social movements against (economic/neo-liberal)
globalisation are not based upon the same interest (i.e. upon
a material/economic dimension), but on the spiritual/human
dimension. It would be useful therefore to study how the spirituality
based social movements react to the (economic/neo-liberal)
globalisation in order to participate in building up a human(ised)
globalisation.
