«Civil Society or Civil War?»
The book «Civil Society or Civil War?» was prepared within the project “Active Society in Practice”. The project was implemented by partner organizations “The Other Space Foundation” (Poland) and HCA - Georgia.
The reader can obtain information about the role, importance and the interaction of individual components of the whole complex system of civil society. Our colleagues from Poland prepared 10 short essays with an analysis of several examples from the experience of transformation in Poland.
The authors of the book draw attention of readers to the difference of views and dimensions as well as perception and understanding of the term civil society
“Archipelago Caucasus”: myths and real-politic
The book is interesting for colleagues who are supporters of the integration processes in the Caucasus. It is useful both for political and public figures, as well as for representatives of the scientific and analytical community. The authors express their hope that the publication can play the role of a manual for students and postgraduates. It can also be used by peacekeeping organizations to plan projects in new dimensions and formats different from the existing ones. The ideas of regionalism are viewed as a peacebuilding potential in the context of a clash between supporters of globalization and ethno-centrists, on the basis of which a unified system of regional security can be built in the future.
