520 |a The buzzword "globalization" has dominated academic discussions in philosophy and the social sciences for almost a quarter century now. But what do, or should, theologians have to say? This article first explores the controversy over the general meaning of the term "globalization", then discusses the somewhat recent historical tendency of theologians to contribute largely in a reticent or reactive way to the debates, and finally outlines three strategies by which leaders in the field have productively engaged and which chart a significant future for the field. Such strategies reflect involvement in debates about global justice with specific attention to climate change, money and international finance, and the emergent idea of a new "cosmopolitanism". At the same time, in light of current global social economic sea changes, such as the decline of the hegemony of the West and the growing political influence of "developing world" nations, theologians are beginning to realize that old-style liberalism and self-condemnatory moralizing about the West’s exploitations of the world’s peoples and resources needs to be replaced with a sense of a multi-cultural and transnational common purpose in facing the common threats to our entire humanity.
