Not only does the argument suppose that periodic fascination with big ideas is a necessary condition of politically imagining a social order. The book also notes th unsual promiscuousness of the idea of global civil society its remarkable ability to attract a wide variety of supporters in all four corners of the earth. These reflection on global civil society may be seen as an experiment conducted in the laboratories of contemporary democratic thinking. Their findings are neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but they are definitely pitted against the widespread feeling that the world is going to the dogs: that it is both too complex or too violent and crazy to deserve serious reflection. 4aSocieties 4aGlobalization221020                |          | eng    a09500/MKRI-P/XI-2008
