Definition
- The contemporary study of civil society is generally seen to reflect the relatively recent emergence of activist forms of political participation dating from the 1960s. The movements of that decade seemed to follow a quiescent period in all industrial democracies and, for many, were all the more surprising given the general economic prosperity of the times.
