      abstract = {This book suggests that our notions of civil society have  undergone radical changesincluding structural changes in  the nature of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and  Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Such massive  structural changes greatly problematize the older liberal  view of a simple split between state and civil society  actors which nonetheless remains dominant in much of social  and political sciences. The author argues that the  naturalist and behaviorist approaches to civil society  occlude the fact that citizens increasingly live within a  particular and highly contestable way of imagining and  constructing civil society. The book shows that changes in  how civil society is conceptualized and organized around  new practices, might mark radically new conceptions of the  state that are ideologically neo-liberal and subtle in the  ways they disempower ordinary citizens.
