"In this thoughtful book, Haynes focuses on what is clearly a significant but hitherto relatively neglected recent trend in Third World societies - the spread of 'action groups'. He usefully brings together evidence of group activity across the range of Third World regions, social bases and issues. While careful neither to romanticize nor to overgeneralize, he shows how these groups not only constitute a strengthening of civil society but have the potential to contribute to a deepening of democracy." Dr Vicky Randall, University of Essex

"A useful introduction to the study of civil societies in the Third World and as such, will almost certainly be added to reading lists on university courses on Third World politics and democratisation studies." Journal of Development Studies
