Democratic Contracts for Sustainable and Caring Societies: What Can Churches and Christian Communities Do?

A fascinating collection of papers on the relationship between democracy, sustainability and globalisation. What should be done to put into action the agreements and conventions that the international community elaborated to make viable a sustainable society? How to move from these agreements and conventions into contracts that oblige nations and international agencies to participate in actions favourable for environmental sustainability? What can churches and Christian communities contribute to the formulation and enforcement of democratic contracts? Contributions come from people in governmental and non-governmental organisations, churches, and the teaching profession, and deal with areas such as the market, capitalism, international law, and the Bible.
