LEV, 2002, 335 pp., €18,50 (ITALIAN) This new publication in Italian is the fruit of the initiatives carried out by the Pontifical Council for the Family from 1992-2002 under the Magisterium of the Holy Father John Paul II in favor of the world’s children.  The text contains Discourses and Messages of the Pope, Statements, Conclusions and Recommendations from the international Congresses sponsored by the Dicastery dedicated to different problems regarding children and their rights, and the texts of interventions delivered by various experts at those international Congresses.  As Cardinal A. López, the President of the P. Council, writes in the prologue to the book: “Peoples show the contours of their humanity in the way they treat children…The integral development of families and the realization of spouses’ and parents’ vocation must encourage putting the destiny of children in close-up.  We might say that this will be truly decisive in the future of pastoral care of the family”. <img border="0" src="../img/BD14565_.GIF" width="15" height="15" /> Globalization, Economics, and the Family.
