This volume examines and contributes to debates surrounding social capital, social movements and the role of civil society in emerging forms of governance.

Divided into three clear sections, focusing on the following core aspects of civil society:
• the position of civic organizations between state and society in emerging forms of governance
• the geographical scales of social movement mobilizations and actions from the local to the global
