"
What better way is there to understand who we are and why we do what we do than to understand beliefs and values? A highly innovative and creative journal, Beliefs and Values blazes a new trail by explicitly promoting greater understanding and deeper relations among the peoples of the world. Congratulations on founding this essential forum."

"Beliefs and Values: Understanding the Global Implications of Human Nature
is a critically important new journal offering a welcome corrective to several decades of scholarship based on the assumption that human beings are driven exclusively by utilitarian motives. The international economic crisis has demonstrated very profoundly that self interest prevails and pundits acknowledge that many global conflicts are sustained as much by greed as by grievance. Yet we know too that people can be reciprocal and even altruistic in their mutuality, underpinned by firmly held values and beliefs. Beliefs and Values
provides a timely interdisciplinary platform for scholars and public intellectuals worldwide, whose ideas, analyses and voices we need to hear more urgently now than ever."
