Publisher Synopsis
"Alejandro Colas takes a critical, and historically informed, look at the international spread of social movements, and of what is termed "civil society". Stressing that the components of civil society are in their very origins international, and that they have done much to shape the international system itself, Colas at the same time questions much prevailing analysis of the direction and impact of such groups. At once engaged and rigorous, this book will be of interest to students of international relations, politics and sociology, as much as it will challenge those who are engaged in international civil society itself." Fred Halliday, London School of Economics and Political Science "It is no exaggeration to say that International Civil Society is probably the best single IR volume on this topic. In a set of tightly-argued and well-written chapters, Colas seeks to bring some much needed rigour to the ongoing debates about what is more commonly dubbed global civil society, themselves a significant part of the larger debates about globalization."
