Globalization Processes in the OECD World. InIIS-Arbeitspapier Nr. 4-5/97. Together with Gregor Walter and Marianne Beisheim    

•    Currently I am putting together an edited volume on the role of religious social movements in the global economy. The preliminary title is: "Resistance versus promotion of globalization: contrasting roles of religious activism in the global economy”.
 
     •    The global economy is characterized by growing inequality which has led to increasing political extremism. My current research interest is to find out how religious transnational movements are responding to this situation. I am specifically interested whether they have developed proposals to reform the global economy or wether they are active participants in promoting a neoliberal global economy.
