In the past two decades, '"civil society" has become a central
organizing concept in the social sciences. Occupying the middle
ground between the state and private life, the civil sphere
encompasses everything from associations to protests to church
groups to nongovernmental organizations. Interest in the topic
exploded with the decline of statism in the 1980s and 1990s, and
many of our current debates about politics and social policy are
informed by the renewed focus on civil society. Michael Edwards,
author of the most authoritative single-authored book on civil
society, serves as the editor for The Oxford Handbook of Civil
Society. Broadly speaking, the book views the topic through three
prisms: as a part of society (voluntary associations), as a kind of
society (marked out by certain social norms), and as a space for
citizen action and engagement (the public square or sphere). It
does not focus solely on the West (a failing of much of the
literature to date), but looks at civil society in both the
developed and developing worlds. Throughout, it merges theory,
practice, and empirical research. In sum, The Oxford Handbook on
Civil Society will be the definitive work on the topic.
