In the face of recent economic shocks, the interconnected world developed by the hegemonic structures of post–World?War?II globalism is forced to adapt. But how will it react to uncertainties resulting from changes to the structure of free trade, disruptions to supply chains and just-in-time inventories, and increasing national calls that question the benefits of migration? Will there be a united response to check financial crises, climate disruptions, and structural imbalances in world trade as people seek to better their lives outside of their birthplace? Or will the responses intensify the conflicts and crises surrounding immigration policies today? Written by scholars who take interdisciplinary approaches to these challenges, the essays in this volume explore what a new international economic order could look like. Bringing together philosophical, spiritual, sociological, theological, and ethical treatments of the issues, the chapters address how globalization either supports or destroys life; how we measure income and understand structures that will either perpetuate or overcome the systems exacerbating inequality; and, finally, how, with philosophical grounding, we can better understand globalization from the perspectives of history, ethics, and regional development studies.

This volume explores the ethical and philosophical paradigms presented by most of the influential Matriarchs of the Circle of African Women Theologians. It critically evaluates the effectiveness of their ethical and philosophical theories, models, and frameworks in pursuing justice and liberation for women in Africa and globally. The authors address critical questions: How have African women theologians reimagined existing ethical paradigms? What original ethical and philosophical ideas have they generated? How have their ethical frameworks influenced the theologies and interpretations they have developed? What purposes do their ethical and philosophical paradigms serve? How do these renderings intersect with various social categories, including gender, race, class, sexuality, capitalism, and colonialism? What liberating frameworks do they propose?The volume further explores the dialogue between distinct African contexts and universal experiences and values. It explores how universal themes such as humanity, human dignity, rights, justice, motherhood, and more can coexist with communal African concepts and themes. It contemplates how embracing African approaches engages these themes more globally, bringing together particular African contexts of women and the universal ethical, philosophical, and theological theories, models, and frameworks to advance the cause of justice and liberation for African women and women worldwide into the future.
