Democracy, culture, catholicism: Voices from four continents

Abstract

Compiling scholarly essays from a unique three-year DCCIRP research project, Democracy, Culture, Catholicism richly articulates the diverse and dynamic interplay of democracy, culture, and Catholicism in the contemporary world. The twenty-five essays from four extremely diverse cultures-Indonesia, Lithuania, Peru, and the United States-explore the relationship between democracy and Catholicism from several perspectives including historical and cultural analysis; political theory and conflict resolution; social movements and Catholic social thought.
