Civil Society : Old Images, New Visions
ISBN: 9780745620718 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is only a decade ago that the eighteenth-century distinction between civil society and the state seemed old-fashioned, an object of cynicism, even of outright hostility. In this important new book, John Keane shows how, in a wholly unexpected reversal of fortunes, this antiquated distinction has since become voguish among politicians, academics, journalists, business leaders, relief agencies and citizens' organizations.
John Keane examines the various sources and phases of the dramatic world-wide popularization of the term. He traces its reappearance in a wide range of...

Add to that Keane's glorious sense of fun and roguery that will make readers relish all the more how and why, in "Fred Rimble," Jim Conlon kills the best friend he ever had. Or how Willie Ramley determines that his future wife...
