Global Civil Society Yearbook 2002

Description

Global Civil Society 2002, the second in this annual landmark series, edited by Helmut Anheier, Marlies Glasius and Mary Kaldor from the London School of Economics, will continue to engage in fundamental and topical debates about global civil society, giving more explicit attention this year to the role of civil society in different political and cultural contexts around the world, with contributions from noted scholars including Abdullahi An-Na'im and Saskia Sassen. The book will contain a chronology of the global civil society events of 2001, new information on parallel global civil society summits, and updates on last year's topics. Its unique table programme will map and measure processes of globalisation and the thickening international rule of law, and provide new information on international non-governmental organizations and their leaders, on norms and values people hold all over the world, and on their participation in global civil society through activism, giving or volunteering.
