ABSTRACT

As the dependence between countries increases in the global era, disasters will be also globalized. Global disasters like as economic crisis, terrorism and war, climate crisis, and global infectious disease make it difficult to identify their causes, asking for responsibility and prepare countermeasures caused by their complex structure. The philosophical cosmopolitanism, international political efforts(UN), and the globalization of economy(pax economica) that mankind has pursued a better world without disasters are now being revealed as failures. The world is still suffering from hunger, war, climate crisis, and global infectious diseases. This study aims to find the possibility of alternative globalization necessary to overcome the global disasters in religious moral resources. As seen in the Golden Rule, world religions have a vision for a better world and moral resources to put that vision into practice. However, if they do not want to repeat the moral mistakes that have been made in history, they must overcome the temptations of privatization and nationalization of their faith. In addition, the identity of believers must be constantly expanded from a religious person to a global citizen.
