GOVERNMENT 2148: CIVIL SOCIETY, WEST AND EAST: SEMINAR
Fall 2000 (Thursdays 3-5 CES Garden Room)
This seminar explores the rise of civil society in states worldwide. It examines the debates over what civil society is, the notion of “public space,” and the idea of “civic engagement,” and looks at the complex relationship between civil society and the state, on the one hand, and markets, on the other. After tracing the emergence of civil society in Western Europe, the seminar looks at the forms civil society is taking in other settings, from Eastern Europe to Northeast Asia. It examines how a wide range of factors, from wars to the Internet to the rise of international NGOs, affects the nature and quality of civic life, and democratic transitions, in different countries. Upper division undergraduates may be permitted to enroll with the permission of the instructors.
