| Description: |
Civil society stands for one of the influential concepts relating to the study of modern societies. Reviewing the history of the concept, its use in various regional contexts, and its place in critical political theory, this book asks about the potential of the concept of civil society in guiding political transformations. |
| Synopsis: |
The past two decades have witnessed a revival of the concept of 'civil society'. From East Central Europe to Latin America and East Asia to the recent calls for a 'European civil society' and a 'global civil society', the concept signifies the need for national and supra-national forms of civic commitment against both unjustified state domination and neo-liberal marketization. Reviewing the long history of the concept, its use in various regional contexts and its place in critical political theory, this book takes comprehensive stock of these debates and asks about the potential of the concept of civil society in guiding political transformations towards fuller understandings of liberty and democracy. |
