Understanding Civil Society: Contributions & challenges in contemporary world
The public sphere of civil society is not static; it continually shrinks, expands and moves in the face of changing contours of political economy at the local, national and global levels. As a consequence, those within such public spheres have to navigate
their efforts in an informed manner; and those outside such spheres, specially in the government institutions, have to learn to respond to such efforts in more nuanced and complex manner. This is becoming a huge challenge, as the complexity of
human societies increases.
