Discussion Paper No. 24 / Juli 2007
Prinzipien ökonomischer und ökologischer Global Governance aus der Sicht des Heiligen Stuhls

Ralph Rotte

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the Holy See's central positions and suggestions concerning current problems of global governance in the field of economics and ecology. It is shown that the Holy See has developed a more or less coherent system of principles and ideas about a reorganization of global socioeconomic policies, which is enrooted in the basic convictions of catholicism as defined by the Popes since the end of the 19th century.
