Anthony Giddens on Civil Society - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 872 Civil Society/Giddens: is to emerge from the renewal and society-wide dissemination of local, self-organised initiatives of citizens who, on their own initiative, come together to fulfil tasks in important areas of life in a self-determined manner that simultaneously serve the common good and benefit them themselves. >Society, >Community, >State. The range of fields of action for this civil society commitment is extremely broad and is highlighted in detail in a separate diagram: "Promotion of the non-profit sector" (e.g. in social assistance), "Protection of the local public" (in the ecological sense and with regard to public safety), "Revitalisation of community life" (as a prophylactic fight against crime) and "The democratic family".(1) >Family. Brocker I 873 From a decided opposition to the state, civil society tried there to seize some important functions for the citizens, for example in the areas of education and the public sphere. As a result, civil society can fulfil many of the public functions itself once it is mobilized. >Third Way/Giddens. 1.Anthony Giddens, Der dritte Weg.
