This volume examines and contributes to debates surrounding social
capital, social movements and the role of civil society in emerging
forms of governance.
The authors adopt a broad range of research approaches, from
testing hypotheses drawn from rationale choice theory against
available statistics on associations, to ethnographic study of
emerging attempts at participant / deliberative democracy. Divided
into three clear sections, focusing on the following core aspects
of civil society:
- the position of civic organizations between state and society
in emerging forms of governance
- the geographical scales of social movement mobilizations and
actions from the local to the global
- the patterns of public trust and civic engagement that falls
under the rubric of social capital.
The book draws on case studies from a wide range of countries,
including: Russia, Ukraine, Britain, Greece, Spain, Germany,
Argentina and new Asian democracies.
Presenting current research on the key dimensions of civil
society, Civil Societies and Social Movements will appeal to those
researching and studying in the fields of political science,
sociology and social policy.
