Business for World Peace: A Baha’i Perspective. Business, Ethics and Peace. Luk Bouckaert and Manas Chatterji (eds) , Emerald Group Publishing Limited: 199-213. In this chapter, we will be exploring the concept of the Lesser Peace revealed in the Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh founder of the Bahá’í Faith, who offers this inevitable future state of global peace and unity. A time that all citizens of good faith and a thriving and flourishing economic system aspire towards. We will offer some ideas on the role of business and the implication of current and future economic systems in contributing towards that Lesser Peace, will be highlighted along with some key concepts that will form the flow of this chapter: (1) the interdepence of the peoples and nations of the earth (2) the unity in the economic sphere and (3) how the welfare of the part means the welfare of the whole and the distress of the part brings distress to the whole. At the centre of our chapter is the key element for reaching this elevated New World Order, which will derive from ‘the spiritualization of the masses’ in connection to a new economic and business paradigm. ; The evolving view on peace and its implications for business / Linda Groff, Luk Boukaert Peace in an organic worldview / Knut J.
