Description

"Civil Societies and Social Movements examines and contributes to debates surrounding social capital, social movements and the role of civil society in emerging forms of governance. The authors adopt a broad range of research approaches, from testing hypotheses drawn from rational choice theory against available statistics on associations, to ethnographic study of emerging attempts at participant/deliberative democracy. The volume draws on case studies from a wide range of countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Britain, Greece, Spain, Germany, Argentina and new Asian democracies." "Presenting current research on the key dimensions of civil society, this book will appeal to those researching and studying in the fields of political science, sociology and social policy."--Jacket.
