About Glassnet

Glassnet advocates comprehensive sustainable development, an approach which addresses the ecological, economic, cultural, social, human, and spiritual aspects of development. As a network it also seeks to advance social strengthening and spiritual solidarity, referring to either the resistance of civil society to totalitarian tendencies in the state and market or, where appropriate, the critical engagement of civil society with business and government to solve social problems in an atmosphere of principled cooperation and mutual respect. The basis for both the possibility of resistance or cooperation is the emergence of civil society as a third global force, joining the state and the market as the key social forces today that are shaping globalization.
