Theme: Global Civil Society

We are seeking submissions exploring the role and the impact of global civil society as well as changes in its structure or composition. We especially welcome submissions from scholars and other researchers from third sector organizations and from outside the United States. Potential questions to address include, but are not limited to: In what ways is global civil society able to promote greater international democracy? In what ways is it failing? Whom does global civil society represent, and how is representation legitimated? How is global civil society responding to the challenge of the rising power of "regressive globalizers" who favor globalization only when it is in their particular interest? What has been the effect of a more formalized role for civil society in global institutions? How are the people, organizations, and values of transnational civil society shaping our world? Can we look to global civil society to address concerns about inequity, health, and security? What are the implications of growing demands for the accountability of global civil society organizations?
