The Role of Religion in Struggles for Global Justice

Struggles for global justice are being fought by civil society groups across the globe, addressing global inequalities, challenging neoliberal market-driven globalization, and demanding that globalizations negative implications be remedied. This book examines the roles religious communities and organizations in particular play in the struggles for global justice, roles too often ignored by scholars of the Global Justice Movement (GJM). The book has two central themes:

the role religion and religious actors play in global justice struggles, and

the idea that justice is a contested concept among both religious and secular actors that requires some sort of faith from its proponents.

These chapters transcend simplistic either/or binaries, highlighting the difficulties of clearly distinguishing between religious and secular, progressive and conservative, or rational and irrational motives and norms in struggles for justice. Challenging the secularization paradigm that marginalizes the role religious actors play in public life, these chapters show how these actors engage with a broad range of justice issues, how deeply contested justice is, and how justices meaning may vary and change among religious actors as a result of the social or political context within which an injustice is encountered.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Globalizations.
