Faith and the Global Agenda

Since 2007 the Berkley Center has collaborated with the Geneva-based World Economic Forum on a series of publications on religion in world affairs. A first report, on Islam and the West: Annual Report on the State of Dialogue, was released at the Forum's annual meeting in Davos in January 2008. A follow-up publication, on Faith and the Global Agenda: Values for the Post-Crisis Economy, was published at the January 2010 Davos meeting. Each publication included a series of essays by leading public figures, original public opinion data, and an overview of key issue areas; the wide range of topics discussed includes economics, globalization, education, intercultural and interreligious dialogue, and climate change. Center Director Thomas Banchoff served on the Forum's Global Agenda Council on Faith from 2008-2010.
