IN SEARCH OF A HUMANISED GLOBALISATION

 

The Contribution of Spirituality Based Social Movements

 

Workshop co-organised by the Asia-Europe Foundation, Nanzan University (Japan) &

Le Havre University (France)

 

 



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.
