The past two decades have witnessed a revival of the concept of
'civil society'. From East Central Europe to Latin America and East
Asia to the recent calls for a 'European civil society' and a
'global civil society', the concept signifies the need for national
and supra-national forms of civic commitment against both
unjustified state domination and neo-liberal marketization.
Reviewing the long history of the concept, its use in various
regional contexts and its place in critical political theory, this
book takes comprehensive stock of these debates and asks about the
potential of the concept of civil society in guiding political
transformations towards fuller understandings of liberty and
democracy. Peter Wagner is Professor of Social and Political Theory
at the European University Institute, Florence, and Professor of
Sociology at the University of Warwick. His publications in social
and political philosophy and historical and political sociology
include A Sociology of Modernity (1994), Theorizing Modernity
(2001), A History and Theory of the Social Sciences (2001), and The
Political Constitution of Modern Capitalism (co-editor, forthcoming
2005).
