Sommario/riassunto

This title brings together competing theories of civil society with critical studies of the role of civil society in diverse situations and the way in which it has been promoted as the key to democratization. The combination of contemporary theory and practical applications provides valuable reading for students of civil society and



contemporary social and political change, and its policy implications for Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.
