本文概述了公民社会的含义，包括理论和发展政策辩论。它追溯了民间社会概念化的演变，指出类型、功能和规模的多样性对理解这些变化至关重要。非政府组织在发展政策中的作用进行了探讨，强调如何对民间社会的欣快情绪已随着时间的推移，反映了如何葛兰西的解释已经开始取代新托克维尔的观点。本文还探讨了公民社会如何在不同的规模从地方到全球跨国运作，评估和批评全球公民社会的兴起，或者更恰当地称为“跨国公民社会”。文章最后强调了散居民间社会对移民群体的重要性，特别是从发展的角度来看，以及需要对这个问题进行更多的研究。从概念上讲，本文主张对公民社会进行更复杂的葛兰西解释，这种解释也认识到空间性在日益治外化的国家和日益跨国的公民社会之间复杂的相互渗透中的重要性。因此，它提出了从地方到全球再到跨国规模的非国有部门发展前景的重新框架。
This article outlines the meanings of civil society covering theoretical and development policy debates. It traces the evolution of conceptualisations of civil society noting how diversity in type, function and scale are critical in understanding these changes. The role of non-governmental organisations within development policy is explored highlighting how the euphoria over civil society has been tempered over time, reflecting how Gramscian interpretations have begun to replace neo-Tocquevillian viewpoints. The article also examines how civil society operates over different scales from local to global to transnational, assessing and critiquing the rise of global civil society or what is more appropriately called ‘transnational civil society’. The article finishes by highlighting the importance of diasporic civil society in relation to migrant groups especially from a development viewpoint as well as the need for more research on this issue. Conceptually, the article argues for a more sophisticated Gramscian interpretation of civil society that also recognises the importance of spatiality in the complex interpenetration between an increasingly extra-territorialised state and an increasingly transnational civil society. Thus, it presents a re-framing of development perspectives on the non-state sector from local to global to transnational scales.
