Although the concept of civil society is in wide circulation today, there is no consensus among scholars on its definition and attributes. Nevertheless, those who use it agree that it refers to an important reality: that civil society is fundamental to democratic governance. If in political science the civil society discourse was occasioned by a re-thinking on the nature of the state and the dynamics of democracy in India, in sociology the context for the discourse was provided by the plethora of social movements and the role of NGOs in socioeconomic development. In the 13 chapters in this book, well-known scholars elucidate in detail a variety of themes relating to civil society. They delineate the `cultural' and `power' perspectives on civil society, analyze the relationship between `civil society' and `good society, and examine the nature of civil society and its relation to specific institutions or processes, such as farmers' agitations; natural resource management; identity politics; fundamentalism; religion, caste and language; and civil society, the state, and democracy.

This book suggests that our notions of civil society have undergone radical changes—including structural changes in the nature of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Such massive structural changes greatly problematize the older liberal view of a simple split between state and civil society actors which nonetheless remains dominant in much of social and political sciences. The author argues that the naturalist and behaviorist approaches to civil society occlude the fact that citizens increasingly live within a particular and highly contestable way of imagining and constructing civil society. The book shows that changes in how civil society is conceptualized and organized around new practices, might mark radically new conceptions of the state that are ideologically neo-liberal and subtle in the ways they disempower ordinary citizens.

The series emerged from the study Towards a European Civil Society, on which 40 political scientists, sociologists, historians, and other scholars in 10 countries worked for two and a half years. This first volume looks at the debates about civil society over the past two decades in East Central Europe, Latin America, East Asia, and finally in Europe and globally, as a counter to unjustified state domination and neo-liberal marketization.

During times of difficulty, Americans traditionally turn towards the President for guidance and leadership. The trope of hope is a critical part of achieving these goals. Hope is the attitude of mind that is based on the expectation that something positive can happen in relation to one’s life, community, or the world at large. During times of crisis, hope can unite the population, encourage new possibilities, and effect change. Through the decades, presidential speeches have tended to posit an epideictic ideal: eloquent expressions meant to bring a diverse citizenry an ideal, if not reality, of unity. The American presidents Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Barack Obama each combined elements of taste, common sense, sympathy, propriety—and hope to posit an epideictic ideal: eloquent expressions meant to bring a diverse citizenry an ideal, if not reality, of unity. Each of these presidents’ style responded to the public values and political shifts of their time to encourage public trust and civil discourse. This study examines how civil discourse is essential to civil society and argues that a) United States presidents have practiced Stoic principles of rhetoric to unify the American people, a practice that is understudied, and b) United States presidents have altered and extended those principles to allow room for appeals based on hope. The study situates presidential rhetoric within the larger context of classical rhetoric and Stoicism. This study analyzes several speeches from each of the selected presidents and draws upon PAC to show how these hopeful speeches have worked to evoke a sense of community and purpose for Americans. Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Obama combined the eloquence of clarity and coherence in speech, moral dignity in conduct of character and warmth of personality to advance their visions of civic unity during times of crisis.
