About the Pelican Web
The mission of The Pelican Web is to collect and analyze knowledge on both obstacles and incentives for sustainable development and, specifically, integral human development; and to publish the monthly, free subscription, open access PelicanWeb's Journal of Sustainable Development. The e-journal provides a monthly digest on current research pursuant to enhancing human solidarity, environmental sustainability, democratic governance, supporting technologies, and both secular and religious non-violence.
There is overwhelming evidence that violence is the main obstacle to sustainable development. It is also well known that there is an intrinsic link between patriarchy and violence. Therefore, mitigating violence requires overcoming the patriarchal mindset of male domination in both secular and religious institutions. Research and advocacy pursuant to overcoming the phallic syndrome is a pivotal element of the PelicanWeb's mission.
The web site includes directories of links to relevant "best of the web" content. The basic philosophy of the journal is Christian, but no source of wisdom is excluded. The Bible and other sacred scriptures, the U.N. "Millennium Development Goals" (MDGs), and UNESCO's guidance for the U.N. "Decade of Education for Sustainable Development" ( DESD) are used as a point of reference. Fostering a better understanding of the intersection between religious traditions and secular cultures is another crucial element of the PelicanWeb's mission.
