"A powerfully persuasive book ... a must-read for students of
politics, practitioners, activists, journalists, and anyone engaged
in public activism."
Perspectives on Political Science
"In Global Civil Society, [Kaldor] is particularly
concerned with the importance of nonstate actors in international
relations, working within the constructivist tradition of
international relations from an activist perspective. When she
examines the theoretical roots and contemporary development of
global civil society, she is hardlt a disinterested observer. ...In
short, in assessing Global Civil Society, it is important to
recognize both Kaldor's intellectual honesty and her explicit
political commitments. She examines literature and events to
develop an arguement about how to promote peace in the future.
Thus, this book is a theoretical and political treatise, informed
by Kaldor's reading of theory and history and also by her
experience as an activist. ...Global Civil Society is a
short, sharp read that is organized around a clear argument. It
should be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of scholars
interested in peace, war, and global civil society."
David S. Meyer, University of California, Irvine
