More about the book

The concept of civil society has regained significance, evolving from a neglected idea to a vital element in global political discourse. The author examines its resurgence, identifying three main interpretations and its applications across various regions, including the Islamic world and former Communist states. He highlights civil society's potential to reshape notions of power and democracy while addressing its complexities, such as the emergence of violence within these communities. Ultimately, the author remains optimistic about civil society's role in fostering peace in conflict-ridden nations.
