In recent social and political theory the term civil society′ has achieved renewed currency. Traditionally used in a normative or ideal-type′ sense, the term describes a form of social organization - that is simply neither economic nor political - where democracy, liberty and widespread solidarity are essential regulatory concepts.
Written from an empirical social-science perspective by some of the world′s most important social theorists, this volume is a critical examination of the normative sense of civil society′. It includes analyses of civil society and democracy, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and post-communism.
