Civil society stands for one of the most ambitious projects and
influential concepts relating to the study of modern societies.
This series deals with the multiple languages, different layers,
and diverse practices of existing and emerging civil societies in
Europe and asks how far the renewed interest in the concept can
contribute to the gradual evolution of a larger European civil
society. 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.
