Civil society is one of the most talked about, but difficult
concepts to define. Yet it has captured the imagination of
intellectuals and political activists alike. In the post-cold war
era there has been a tremendous optimism about the re-emergence of
civil society in many countries. However, the promises of change
have not always borne fruit.
This volume examines the idea of civil society in its historical
and contemporary dimensions. As a collection, it provides a clear,
comprehensive and critical mapping of the idea, the burden of
expectation that it has carried, and the intellectual and political
dimensions that surround it. The major themes covered include the
concept of civil society itself, its relation to the state on the
one hand and political economy on the other, and the violence of
civil society as well as the possibilities it provides for
resistance to injustice.
