Description: "This book explores these pressing and topical questions by introducing radically alternative models of civil society that have been developed outside the liberal democratic frame of reference, models which suggest that civil society does offer new and non-statist democratic possibilities. Drawing on a wide range of civil society theory-practice from anti-authoritarian struggles in Eastern Europe and Latin America (including the Zapatistas in Mexico), and from visions of global society too, this book is uniquely positioned to consider the questions posed by these alternative voices for democratic theory and practice."--Jacket.
