At the moment, no other European city attracts so much fascination
as the city of Berlin. An unrivalled symbol of modern urban life,
Berlin is a dynamic city whose inhabitants, in the course of the
past two centuries, have lived through both the rapid growth and
the violent destruction of the institutions of civil society,
several times over. This volume situates itself within these
developments by presenting, for the first time in English, a sample
of the best, recently written essays on contemporary civil
societies, their structural problems, and their uncertain future,
written by scholars with a close, long-standing relationship with
the city. They are pre-occupied with a broad sweep of substantive
themes, but in each case they focus upon one or other of the key
trends that are shaping actually existing civil societies.
