In much social scientific literature, Polish civil society has been
portrayed as weak and passive. This volume offers a much-needed
corrective, challenging this characterization on both theoretical
and empirical grounds and suggesting new ways of conceptualizing
civil society to better account for events on the ground as well as
global trends such as neoliberalism, migration, and the renewal of
nationalist ideologies. Focusing on forms of collective action that
researchers have tended to overlook, the studies gathered here show
how public discourse legitimizes certain claims and political
actions as "true" civil society, while others are too often
dismissed. Taken together, they critique a model of civil society
that is 'made from above'.
