This open access book examines how civil society organizations in
Poland, Russia, and Sweden (re)act to transformations of
opportunities and limitations in access to various forms of
resources. The volume's contributions discuss the constraints
associated with different types of resources as well as
organizations' capacities to generate resources-or compensate for
their lack-as they negotiate and contest barriers. The
resourcefulness of civil society is revealed to be rooted in a
variety of capabilities: converting resources, eliciting
organizational change, and metamorphosing in response to
organizational and environmental development.
It is widely accepted that the machinery of multicultural societies
and liberal democratic systems is dependent upon various forms of
dialogue - dialogue between political parties, between different
social groups, between the ruling and the ruled. But what are the
conditions of a democratic dialogue and how does the philosophical
dialogic approach apply to practice? Recently, facing challenges
from mass protest movements across the globe, liberal democracy has
found itself in urgent need of a solution to the problem of
translating mass activity into dialogue, as well as that of
designing borders of dialogue. Exploring the multifaceted nature of
the concepts of dialogue and democracy, and critically examining
materializations of dialogue in social life, this book offers a
variety of perspectives on the theoretical and empirical interface
between democracy and dialogue. Bringing together the latest work
from scholars across Europe, Democracy in Dialogue, Dialogue in
Democracy offers fresh theorizations of the role of dialogue in
democratic thought and practice and will appeal to scholars of
sociology, political science and social and political theory.
