This volume explores how the idea of civil society has been
translated in different cultural contexts and examines its impact
on politics worldwide. Comparing and contrasting civil society in
Latin America and Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the United
States, Africa and South Asia, and the Middle East, the
contributors show that there are multiple interpretations of the
concept that depend more on the particular political configuration
in different parts of the world than on cultural predilections.
They also demonstrate that the power of civil society depends less
on abstract definitions, and more on the extent to which it is
grounded in the context of actual experiences from around the
world.
This book includes some of the biggest names in the area such as
Mary Kaldor, Ronnie Lipschutz and Helmut Anheier.
