TURKEY - A group of 600, mostly academics, met in Istanbul, under the auspices of Globalisation for the Common Good. Dr Kamran Mofid, an Iranian econ- omist living in Derbyshire, who founded the Initiative, explains: "Our mission is to promote ethical, moral and spiritual values into, amongst others, the areas of economics, commerce, trade and international relations. We are committed to the idea that the marketplace is not just an economic sphere: it is a region of the human spirit." This year's conference focused on A Non-Violent Path to Conflict Reso- lution and Peacebuilding. It concluded that: "We must strengthen the influence of the majority of humans that wish to live in peace. We strongly endorse efforts to combine our collective intelligence to build globalisation from the bottom up: creating a global consensus of commitment to the common good." Dr Mofid invites all those who are sympathetic to join the Network. He says: "We look forward to hearing about your projects in creating a new world of justice, peace and prosperity for all. Our common voice should be heard loud and clear."
