Evaluating trade policies
Trade policies have been a contested aspect of economic globalization. Concerns arise over economic outcomes, political processes, and the balance of power between states and corporations. Religious actors are rarely studied in spite of their political discourse and engagement in trade policy debates. In this paper, I examine three faith communities in the Americas that have been engaged in debates over trade policies, specifically NAFTA, CAFTA a…
Best Practices in Environmental Communication
This mixed-method case study of environmental communication best practices in Louisiana, USA, identifies trends and approaches as informed by environmental psychology. The results provide key insights for environmental communicators, especially communicators in coastal regions. In-depth interviews with both environmental psychologists and environmental communicators showed that both groups emphasized knowing the audience, telling local stories, b…
Free Trade and Faithful Globalization
Through an analysis of Christian communities in the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica, this book analyzes how religious groups talk about the politics surrounding economic life. Amy Reynolds examines how these Christian organizations speak about trade and the economy as moral and value-laden spaces, deserving ethical reflection and requiring political action. She reveals the ways in which religious communities have asked people to engage in n…
Global Poverty and Evangelical Action
American evangelicals are actively engaged in the international political economy. Relief and development organizations hold a prominent place in the evangelical landscape. Their considerable and growing size is made possible in part by the financial contributions of individual evangelicals. Evangelical congregations are connected to the relief and development sector through official institutional linkages, international partnerships, and the inc…
Networks, Ethics, and Economic Values
In an era of increasing economic liberalization, much has been written on the challenges facing alternative trade movements. Religion is often overlooked in such research, and I examine how the faith identity of one set of actors influenced their involvement in the Central American coffee trade. On the basis of ethnographic research in Nicaragua, I examine how religious networks, ethics, and values shaped the economic behaviors of an evangelical …

Religion and Development
In an effort to bridge the often cavernous gap between secular development and religion, the World Bank helped initiate The World Faiths Development Dialogue in 1998. This edited volume is in many ways the fruit of that initiative. In asking how religious communities and development groups can come together for a common goal, the contributors rely upon a wide set of disciplinary perspectives: anthropology, sociology, political science, religious …
Moral Discourse in Economic Contexts
Estimating the Religious Composition of All Nations
The international religious data in the World Christian Database (WCD), and its print predecessor, the World Christian Encyclopedia (WCE) have been used frequently in academic studies and the popular press. Scholars have raised questions about the WCD's estimates categories, and potential bias, but the data have not yet been systematically assessed. We test the reliability of the WCD by comparing its religious composition estimates to four other …
News Influence on Our Pictures of the World
Millions of Americans spent weeks using the media to keep track of the unique events surrounding the 2000 presidential contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Not only did they watch and read to find out the latest events and changes surrounding the vote count and the ensuing legal battles after Election Day, they also looked to the media for some direction on what issues to think about prior to election day. Through their day-today selection…

Focus is on the conduct of elections and research questions are formulated to enable us to gauge the…
