Changing Expectations?: The Concept and Practice of Civil Society in International Development
Edited by Brian Pratt

NGO Management and Policy Series 16
This volume provides an insightful overview both of the concept of civil society and its operationalisation and strengthening in the practice of the international development system. It takes as its starting point the many and varied theoretical descriptions of civil society, focusing particularly on the nature of the relationship between civil society and the State. Building on this, the book goes on to present comprehensive analyses of practical considerations such as capacity building and monitoring and evaluation of civil society support programmes.
