This book investigates theoretically and empirically whether and
(if so) how state weakness influences the way in which national
civil societies constitute themselves, using Bangladesh and the
Philippines as case studies. A vibrant civil society is usually
perceived as an important ingredient of democracy, but does this
hold for civil society in weak states as well? What does civil
society look like in contexts of state weakness? How much and what
kind of political influence does it have in such settings? And are
its actors really capable and willing to contribute to democracy in
states where independent and legal bureaucratic institutions are
weak? Addressing each of these questions, the author points the way
to some hard re-thinking about the basis for and approach to
development assistance to and via local civil society, with crucial
repercussions for the ways in which international development
assistance is designed and funded. The chapter 'Analysing Civil
Society in Weak States' is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license
