"This is an ambitious effort to capture and contextualize highly diverse broad-ranging trends of contemporary and emerging civil society worldwide and to open a debate on how to theorize these trends. It provides a set of conceptual and theoretical inroads as well as a variety of empirical cases on state - civil society relations and is a welcomed contribution to the field of civil society studies and democratization studies." * Jens Stilhoff Sorensen, Swedish Institute of International Affairs, Stockholm "[A]collection of original and sophisticated chapters. The combination of theoretical and empirical chapters - addressing and debating political activism (understood here through the concept of 'civil society') and the state and nature of contemporary democracy in various different contexts - is convincing and makes the collection an attractive and valuable contribution to our understanding of contemporary political dynamics." * Sabine Selchow, London School of Economics
