The Development of Peoples: Challenges for Today and Tomorrow

By International Jesuit Network for Develop

To mark the fortieth anniversary of the publication of Populorum Progressio, writers and practitioners concerned with issues raised in the document look at it again. Themes and aspects of the problem mentioned in the encyclical such as debt, trade, poverty, and human rights are revisited in light of forty years of experience. The authors look at the inspiration offered through the lens of response, both then an now, recalling the vision and goals of Populorum Progressio, and asking how we as a global family have fared in realizing that vision and achieving these goals. New areas which have been recognized since the publication of the document-like gender, the environment, and HIV/AIDS-are addressed in the light of principles outlined.
