From the dissident movements in Eastern Europe to the Zapatista
revolution in Mexico to the revival of Naples and other European
cities, it has been argued that civil society will be the key site
of political struggle and political change in the twenty-first
century. Drawing on the writings of thinkers ranging from Kant,
Hegel, Feuerbach and Marx to Weber, Schmitt, Benjamin, Adorno and
Arendt, Sovereign states or political communities? explores the
ideas, meaning and history of civil society and its relationship
with the state and the economy. A philosophical approach is used to
shed new light on existing interpretations of the 1989 revolutions
in the East and the new social movements in the West. The book
shows that there are universal forms of politics in contemporary
civil societies which elude the politics of interest and identity.
Sovereign states or political communities? also explains why these
forms of politics are largely obscured by existing institutions
such as the market and state, and suggests how they might furnish
the bases of a distinctly political form of knowledge rooted in
praxis and experience instead of power and contract.
