Civil Society ranks as flavor of the month among community volunteers,
academics and policy makers. It animates political activists of various
stripes. Many view it as a key concept in the struggle against poverty and
for social justice and democracy, in Canada and around the world. Is civil
society anything more than a projection of our desires, a chameleon concept
that can mean all things to all people? Does it risk being co-opted beyond
recognition and usefulness?
