Integral Human Development
Catholic Social Teaching and the Capability Approach

This volume brings into conversation two major moral traditions in the social sciences and humanities that offer common areas for understanding, interpreting, and transforming the world.Over the last decade, moral theologians who work on issues of poverty, social justice, human rights, and political institutions have been finding inspiration in the capability approach (CA). Conversely, social scientists who have been working on issues of poverty and social justice from a CA perspective have been finding elements in the Catholic social tradition (CST) to overcome some of the limitations of the CA, such as its vagueness regarding what counts as a valuable human life and its strong individual focus. Integral Human Development brings together for the first time social scientists and theologians in dialogue over their respective uses of CST and CA. The contributors discuss what their mutual grounds are, where they diverge, and where common areas of collaboration and transformative action can be found. The contributors offer a critical analysis of CA from the perspective of theology. They also provide an original account of CST. The book offers a broader historical, biblical, social, economic, political, and ecological understanding of CST than that which is currently available in the CST literature. The book will interest students and practitioners in global affairs, development studies, or the social sciences who seek to better understand the Catholic tradition and its social teachings and what they can offer to address current socio-environmental challenges.Contributors: Séverine Deneulin, Clemens Sedmak, Amy Daughton, Dana Bates, Lori Keleher, Joshua Schulz, Katie Dunne, Cathriona Russell, Meghan J. Clark, Ilaria Schnyder von Wartensee, Elizabeth Hlabse, Guillermo Otano Jiménez, James P. Bailey, Helmut P. Gaisbauer, and Augusto Zampini-Davies.
Human Development and the Catholic Social Tradition

This book brings development theory and practice into dialogue with a religious tradition in order to construct a new, transdisciplinary vision of development with integral ecology at its heart.It focuses on the Catholic social tradition and its conception of integral human development, on the one hand, and on the works of economist and philosopher Amartya Sen which underpin the human development approach, on the other. The book discusses how these two perspectives can mutually enrich each other around three areas: their views on the concept and meaning of development and progress; their understanding of what it is to be human – that is, their anthropological vision; and their analysis of transformational pathways for addressing social and environmental degradation. It also examines how both human development and the Catholic social tradition can function as complementary analytical lenses and mobilizing frames for embarking on the journey of structural and personal transformation to bring all life systems, human and non-human, back into balance.This book is written for researchers and students in development studies, theology, and religious studies, as well as professional audiences in development organizations.

The question of the meaning of progress and development is back on the political agenda. How to frame this discontent and search for new alternatives when either socialism or liberalism no longer provides a satisfactory framework? This book introduces in an accessible way the capability approach, first articulated by Amartya Sen in the early 1980s. Written for an international audience, but rooted in the Latin American reality - a region with a history of movements for social justice - the book argues that the capability approach provides to date, the most encompassing and promising ethical framework with which to construct action for improving people’s wellbeing and reducing injustices in the world. Comprehensive, practical and nuanced in its treatment of the capability approach, this highly original volume gives students, researchers and professionals in the field of development an innovative framing of the capability approach as a 'language' for action and provides specific examples of how it has made a difference.

SÉVERINE DENEULIN, MATHIAS NEBEL AND NICHOLAS SAGOVSKY TRANSFORMING UNJUST STRUCTURES The Capability Approach THE CAPABILITY APPROACH Structural injustice has traditionally been the concern of two major academic disciplines: economics and philosophy. The dominant model of economics has long been that of neo-classical economics. For neo-classical economists, human we- being is to be assessed by the availability of disposable income or according to goods consumed; it is measured by the levels of utility achieved in the consumption of commodities. Social order is fashioned by the ways consumers maximise their 1 well-being and enterprises maximise their profits. A core assumption is that all 2 commodities are commensurable: they can all be measured according to a single 3 numerical covering value, which is their price. Within this neo-classical paradigm, justice is achieved when the utility level of someone cannot be increased without 4 another person seeing his or her utility level decrease. The dominant paradigm of neo-classical economics was strongly challenged when development and welfare economist Amartya Sen received the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1998. His work offered an alternative to the neo-classical evaluation of human well-being in the utility/commodity space. The underlining philosophical intuition behind Sen’s work is that the standard of living lies in the living and not in the consumption of commodities. In searching for an alternative measure of human well-being, Sen devised his capability approach.

Development practice is full of examples of the importance of religion in the lives of people in developing countries. However, religion has largely remained unexplored in development studies. This timely new book aims to fill that gap. The authors expertly review how religion has been treated in the evolution of development thought, how it has been conceptualised in the social sciences, and highlights the major deficiencies of the assumption of secularism.The book argues that development theory and practice needs to rewrite its dominant script regarding its treatment of religion, a script which has so far been heavily inscribed in the secular tradition. It puts forward an understanding of religions as traditions: that religions rest on central thesis and teachings which never cease to be re-interpreted in the light of the social, political and historical context. In addition to providing a conceptual framework for analysing the role of religion in development, the book provides numerous empirical examples drawn from the Christian and Islamic religious traditions. This comprehensive new guide to this key issue is essential for students, development thinkers and practitioners who wish to understand better the role that religion plays in development processes and outcomes.

On the Care and Balance of Our Common Home: Christian-Muslim Dialogues
A Resource Book to Foster Interfaith Collaboration for Socio-ecological Transformation

Kommande
While there is substantial amount of research on religion and ecology, there is no resource on ecological sustainability that brings different religious perspectives on ecology in dialogue with each other. ‘On the Care and Balance of Our Common Home’ does just that, focusing on the dialogue between Christian and Muslim traditions.One of the book’s unique contributions is its bringing together of the Christian and Muslim perspectives on ecology, to raise awareness of the other’s point of view, and indicate how to address the socio-environmental problems together. While each tradition has developed independent eco-theologies and have started various faith-driven ecological activities, the dialogue between them on environmental theologies and action is still scarce. This book fills the need for an accessible and academically rigorous resource to foster collaboration between these faith traditions for the care and balance of our common home.

¿Con qué podríamos comparar al Reino de Dios? Se parece a un grano de mostaza. Cuando se lo siembra, es la más pequeñas de todas las semillas de la tierra, pero, una vez sembrada, crece y llega a ser la más grandes de todas las hortalizas, y extiende tanto sus ramas que los pájaros del cielo se cobijan a su sombra" (Mc 4, 30-32). La parábola contada por el Señor puede acompañar muy bien el misterio de la vida, misión e historia de esta pequeña comunidad, situada en el barrio presidente Sarmiento y Carlos Gardel de la diócesis de Morón. Tal vez porque comenzó como una pequeña inspiración del Espíritu Santo en el corazón de personas que se dispusieron a vivir en comunidad su vida y su fe, asumiendo que Dios en su hacer comienza desde lo pequeño para llegar a grandes cosas. ¿Qué resaltaría de este camino?, ¿qué me gustaría acentuar? El lenguaje del Señor se manifiesta en signos que el corazón creyente necesita aprender a descubrir, interpretar y descifrar en la historia. Y quien pueda entrar en esta sintonía de comprensión, puede descubrir en este libro, narrado por muchos y contado por cuatro mujeres, una historia de salvación, una historia de Dios con esta pequeña porción de su Pueblo. La comunidad Virgen de la Asunción, como un signo de esperanza, sembrada en un contexto rico en diversidad y muy duro en las necesidades básicas de la vida, es un signo que nos enseña precisamente que el don de la esperanza siempre se sostiene actuando, haciendo aquello quesabemos por la fe y la confianza en Dios, que tiene un potencial transformador en el amor que se hace entrega y se pone al servicio de los demás.En un tiempo de mucha riqueza en experiencias, positivas y negativas, esta comunidad va tratando de vivir desde el Espíritu de Jesúsresucitado derramado sobre ella como misión la certeza de que vivir es convivir, que es más fecundo y pleno compartir la vida, lo que somos ytenemos, antes que dejar que el sueño individualista y consumista que inspiran otros vientos nos lastime, nos entristezca y nos hagan infecundos. Gracias a cada persona que fue y es protagonista de esta historia de Esperanza.P. Rodrigo Vega,Párroco de Virgen de la Asunción,Diócesis de Morón.
