Description
This book explores the complex relationships between active citizenship and civil society, with a focus on the third sector. It examines how the third sector can nurture active citizenship, and how it has been constructed and reconstructed in different socio-political contexts over recent years.
The authors draw on a range of theory and empirical studies to investigate the impact of changing social connectedness, political engagement, and environmental problems on civil society action. This important book will be a valuable resource for academics, students, and practitioners seeking to understand the role of the third sector in promoting active citizenship.
