This volume offers an historical and comparative overview of the
literature, theory, practices and critiques of what has been
variously labeled 'global' or 'transnational' civil society, which
includes a broad range of non-state actors, political, social and
economic. The volume includes an introductory essay that historicizes
and problematizes the relationship of society to state and market and
contextualizes the pieces in the volume, while locating the
literature in relationship to international relations, political
science and sociology.
