内容説明

After the 1990s, civil society, in all its many forms, was no longer seen as the flawless solution to the world's problems as it once was. Calls for accountability, a lack of agreement among scholars as to the exact definition of ""civil society"" and growing attention to civil actors as alternatives to governments, made the time ripe for self-analysis. The CIVICUS Civil Society Index (CSI) project is the result of rigorous self-examination by civil society actors around the world. How is something as vast and contested as civil society, measured? The hundreds of members and partners of CIVICUS that contribute to the CSI have focused not only on measurable, short-term indicators, but also on long-term and more complex processes that are often neglected in evaluations of civil society. Concise profiles of 44 countries make up this, the first of two volumes (the second to be released later in 2007). It looks at factors such as civic engagement, democracy, corruption, social capital, gender equity and civil society's role in policy, and the overall health of each country's civil society. In most chapters, assessments are followed by policy recommendations. The result is arguably the most encompassing picture of civil society ever produced.
