Global Civil Society? (Contemporary Political Theory)
"The book contains...brilliant thoughts that make reading it worthwhile...The major strength of Keane's book is the profound learnedness and academic confidence its chapters convey to the reader."   Helmut K. Anheier, University of California, Los Angeles, and the London School of Economics, American Journal of Sociology"The most learned, erudite, and encompassing book on the global civil society, of this century."   Amitai Etzioni, Author of The New Golden Rule"John Keane's book is an imaginative and productive experiment in contemporary democratic thinking.  It is challenging and provocative, and it provides structured orientation in a wide, confusing and unsettled field."   Hans-Jurgen Puhle, University of Frankfurt"John Keane has applied his sharp intellect and moral commitments to a topic of political importance but persistent conceptual confusion to produce a book of forceful clarity and coherence.  A sparkling contribution to contemporary political thought."   Bryan Turner, University of Cambridge"This book is an invaluable contribution to a subject of increasing significance in the 21st century. Highly recommended."   Choice
