Anotace:	In recent social and political theory the term `civil society' has achieved renewed currency. Traditionally used in a normative or `ideal-type' sense, the term describes a form of social organization - that is simply neither economic nor political - where democracy, liberty and widespread solidarity are essential regulatory concepts. Real Civil Societies is written from an empirical, social-science perspective, critically examines the normative sense of `civil society', and proposes a new research programme for investigating it. To what extent do actual societies exhibit the features of the `ideal-type' civil society? What happens to the ideals of civil society when they are economically, politically and socially institutionalized? How do race and ethnicity impact on the idea of civil society? Can the ideals of civil society be understood semiotically and narratively rather than in rationalist terms?A comprehensive and integrated examination of the concept by some of the world's most important social theorists, this volume includes analyses of civil society and democracy; citizenship, race and ethnicity; and post-communism.
