Civil Society

Discover the transformative insights of Civil Society by Howard J. Wiarda, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2019. This compelling hardback edition spans 184 pages and delves into the intricate processes and politics surrounding the dismantling of "corporate" economies and political systems in developing countries. Wiarda expertly examines how this separation can pave the way for the emergence of civil societies characterized by freedom of association and democratic values. However, he also addresses the limitations and potential pitfalls of this approach, providing readers with a balanced perspective on the challenges faced in the quest for true civil society. Ideal for those interested in comparative government and foreign relations, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the dynamics of civil society in the context of global development.
