This innovative volume is the first systematic study of civil
society elites in Southeast Asia (and indeed anywhere in the
world). Spanning two previously separate areas of research –
civil society and elites – it sheds new light on power
inequalities within and beyond civil society, identifies different
types of elite formation and elite interaction within and beyond
civil society, and traces interactions and integration with elite
groups from party politics, the state, and the business sector.
This tightly edited volume, produced by a research team ranging
from senior scholars to promising younger academics, analyses how
such processes are influenced by reliance on foreign funding and
explores how they play out in two settings – where the political
space for civil society is generally shrinking (Cambodia) and where
it is relatively expanding (Indonesia). However, the volume offers
more than a rethinking of civil society in Cambodia and Indonesia;
it looks beyond. It thus challenges a view of civil society
entities as relatively isolated from the state and from political
and economic society, revealing power relations that link them.
Suggesting a new direction for civil society research, the book
will be of great interest to the many researchers working on civil
society, elites and contemporary Southeast Asian politics as well
as those engaged in other areas of society in Cambodia and
Indonesia. Policymakers, donors and not least civil society
activists themselves will find the volume highly relevant to their
work.
