- Written by Mary Kaldor, a leading expert in this field and author of influential titles such as The Imaginary War and New and Old Wars.
- Argues that the reinvention of civil society has to be understood in the context of globalisation.
- Shows that the concept of civil society is no longer confined to the borders of the territorial state and that the distinction between a ‘democratic' West and a ‘non-democratic' East and South has become blurred.
- Studies past debates in conjunction with the actions and arguments of the present, in order to influence the phenomenon.
