Rezension zu „The Oxford Handbook of Civil Society “
"This Oxford Handbook of Civil Society, happily, comes in well under $200, is spectacularly readable, and clearly earns every penny in both price and packaging. ... Michael Edwards, its editor, has taken on the daunting task over the past few decades of actually trying to understand one of the slipperiest ideas social scientists and philosophers have employed over the past few centuries. Edwards has written clearly on the subject, has funded research and action to enhance this understanding, and in this volume, calls upon a talented network of his colleagues to illuminate the civil society concept in a remarkable display of good sense and intellectual persuasion."--Jon Van Til, Rutgers University, for VOLUNTAS "The Oxford Handbook of Civil Society presents a kaleidoscope of views...The entries are concise and well-written, focusing on major issues of contention in academic debate, thus providing ideal readings for classes and for introduction to the topic."--CHOICE
