描述 | .This bookinvestigates theoretically and empirically whether and (if so) how stateweakness influences the way in which national civil societies constitutethemselves, using Bangladesh and the Philippines as case studies. A vibrantcivil society is usually perceived as an important ingredient of democracy,but does this hold for civil society in weak states as well? What does civilsociety look like in contexts of state weakness? How much and what kind ofpolitical influence does it have in such settings? And are its actors reallycapable and willing to contribute to democracy in states where independent andlegal bureaucratic institutions are weak? Addressing each of these questions,the author points the way to some hard re-thinking about the basis for andapproach to development assistance to and via local civil society, withcrucial repercussions for the ways in which international developmentassistance is designed and funded..The chapter ‘Analysing Civil Society in Weak States‘ is open access under a CCBY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.. |
