Civil Society: History and PossibilitiesSudipta Kaviraj, Sunil Khilnani Cambridge University Press, 6 Eyl 2001 - 330 sayfa Civil Society is one of the most used--and abused--concepts in current political thinking. Fifteen leading scholars clarify the theoretical meanings of the concept as well as considering the different historical contexts in which it has been used outside the West. The volume is divided into two parts: the first section analyzes the meaning of civil society in different theoretical traditions of Western philosophy. In the second section, contributors consider the theoretical and practical contexts in which this idea has been invoked in Asia, Africa and Latin America. |
