Global civil society
Article Abstract:
The possibility for a civil sphere on a supra-national scale was imagined since the first national institutionalizations of civil societies, and is embodied in the collective representation of globalization, which has organizational integuments and political economic effects. Tied to the organizational processes that are enlarging the scope of institutional and cultural power, globalization promises to sustain the dream of cosmopolitan peace in a compelling manner.
