The nature of the currently emerging European society, which includes the economic and social transformation of Eastern and Central European countries, has been hotly debated. At its center is the relationship between markets and civil society within political and social contexts. The contributors to this volume offer perspectives from various disciplines (the social sciences, conceptual history, law, economics) and from several European countries in order to explore the ways in which markets influence various forms of civil society, such as individual freedom, social cohesion, economic effectiveness and democratic governance, and influence the construction of a civil society in a broader sense.

Social capital - networks of civic engagements, norms of reciprocity, and attitudes of trust - is widely seen as playing a key role for the health of democracy. While many authors have examined the consequences of social capital, there is a pressing need to explore its sources. This collection brings together leading American and European scholars in the first comparative analysis of how social trust and other civic attitudes are generated. The contributors to this volume examine the generation of social capital from two directions: society-based approaches that emphasize voluntary associations, and institutional approaches that emphasize policy.

Comparative Perspective of Civil Society examines the role of civil society in the economic, social, and political development of several nations. It uses a comparative perspective to explore the intriguing challenges that civil society organizations face in the development processes of various nations. It argues that, while the involvement of civil society organizations in the achievement of sustainable development is an extremely complex process, it is paramount for stakeholders (i.e., government officials, NGOs staff, the private sector, union, professional association leaders, and community based groups) to increase their knowledge and cooperation.
