Further reading.  aJohn Keane, a leading poilitical thinker, tracks the recent development of a powerful big idea - global civil society.  In this book,  he explores the jumble of contradictory forces currently nurturing or threatening its growth, and he shows how talk of global civil society implies a political vision: of a less violent world founded on legally sanctioned power-sharing arrangements among many different and intermingling forms of socio-economic life.  Keane's reflections are pitted against the widespread feeling that the world is both too complex and too violent and crazy for this idea to deserve serious reflection. His account borrows from various scholarly disciplines, including political science and itnernational relations, to challenge the normative silence and confusion withgin much of the contemporary literature on globalisation and global governance. 0aCivil society. 0aGlobalization. 0aInternational relations.  aCivil society  aGlobalisation  aOverseas item
