"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
