Edited by V. Finn Heinrich and Lorenzo Fioramonti

CIVICUS is publishing the second volume of the CIVICUS Global Survey of the State of Civil Society which provides a wide-ranging analysis of key issues facing civil society worldwide. Comprising 24 chapters by prominent researchers and civil society practitioners, the book draws on the information collected by the CIVICUS Civil Society Index project in more than 45 countries to explore issues such as civil society’s accountability, its relations to the state and corporate sector and its role in governance and development. It also includes regional overviews of the state of civil society in different continents. By bringing together a diversity of perspectives and themes, this book offers one of the most comprehensive and engaging analyses of civil society worldwide.
