- More about Civil Society Revisited: Lessons from Poland
Polish civil society is portrayed as weak and passive in social scientific literature, but this volume challenges this characterization and suggests new ways of conceptualizing it to better account for global trends.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 352 pages
Publication date: 15 October 2021
Publisher: Berghahn Books
In the realm of social scientific literature, a prevailing portrayal of Polish civil society has been characterized as weak and passive. This volume serves as a much-needed corrective, offering a robust challenge to this portrayal on both theoretical and empirical grounds. It proposes innovative conceptualizations of civil society that can effectively capture the complexities of events on the ground and global trends such as neoliberalism, migration, and the resurgence of nationalist ideologies. By delving into forms of collective action that have often been overlooked by researchers, the studies compiled herein shed light on how public discourse legitimizes certain claims and political actions as authentic representatives of civil society, while others are frequently marginalized. Taken together, these contributions critique a top-down model of civil society that fails to adequately account for the diverse and dynamic nature of social phenomena.
