Recently the topic of civil society has generated a wave of
interest, and a wealth of new information. Until now no publication
has attempted to organize and consolidate this knowledge.
The International Encyclopedia of Civil Society fills this gap,
establishing a common set of understandings and terminology, and an
analytical starting point for future research. Global in scope and
authoritative in content, the Encyclopedia offers succinct
summaries of core concepts and theories; definitions of terms;
biographical entries on important figures and organizational
profiles. In addition, it serves as a reliable and up-to-date guide
to additional sources of information.
In sum, the Encyclopedia provides an overview of the contours of
civil society, social capital, philanthropy and nonprofits across
cultures and historical periods. For researchers in nonprofit and
civil society studies, political science, economics, management and
social enterprise, this is the most systematic appraisal of a
rapidly growing field.
