This interdisciplinary collection of essays highlights the
relevance of Buddhist doctrine and practice to issues of
globalization. From various philosophical, religious, historical,
and political perspectives, the authors show that Buddhism arguably
the world s first transnational religion is a rich resource for
navigating today's interconnected world. Buddhist Responses to
Globalization addresses globalization as a contemporary phenomenon,
marked by economic, cultural, and political deterritorialization,
and also proposes concrete strategies for improving global
conditions in light of these facts. Topics include Buddhist
analyses of both capitalist and materialist economies; Buddhist
religious syncretism in highly multicultural areas such as
Honolulu; the changing face of Buddhism through the work of public
intellectuals such as Alice Walker; and Buddhist responses to a
range of issues including reparations and restorative justice,
economic inequality, spirituality and political activism, cultural
homogenization and nihilism, and feminist critique. In short, the
book looks to bring Buddhist ideas and practices into direct and
meaningful, yet critical, engagement with both the facts and
theories of globalization."
