Bücher von Andrew Arato

In this first serious work on the theory of civil society to appear in many years, Jean Cohen and Andrew Arato contend that the concept of civil society articulates a contested terrain in the West that could become the primary locus for the expansion of democracy and rights.

This volume argues that negotiated civil society-oriented transitions have an affinity for a distinctive method of constitution making - one that accomplishes the radical change of institutions through legal continuity.
