This book introduces radically alternative models of civil society
that have been developed outside the liberal democratic frame of
reference, models which suggest that civil society does offer new
and non-statist democratic possibilities. Drawing on a wide range
of civil society theory-practice from Eastern Europe and Latin
America (including the Zapatistas in Mexico), and from visions of
global civil society too, this book is uniquely positioned to
consider the questions posed by these alternative voices for
democratic theory and practice. * Are there alternatives to the
liberal democratic vision of civil society? * Is a democracy
located in civil society rather than the state either possible or
desirable? * How and why has the concept of civil society come to
be used so widely today? * Can global civil society further the
struggle for democracy initiated by national civil societies?
