公民社会的研究主要是规范性的，无论是在概念上还是在理论假设上。我们建议一个新的，或者更好的修订，公民社会研究的研究议程，其中应包括（至少）这四点。首先，市民社会的概念应被视为一种启发式手段。其次，“公民社会”和“非公民社会”之间的区分只有在规范框架中才有意义，然后只有将非公民社会定义为公民社会的子集才有意义。第三，对公民社会的实证研究应该研究公民社会组织与民主/民主化之间关系的本质，而不是假设这种关系。第四，“非公民”运动和有争议的政治应该包括在公民社会的研究中。
Most studies of civil society are mainly normative, both in their conceptualization and in their theoretical assumptions. We suggest a new, or better a revised, research agenda of the study of civil society, which should include (at least) these four points. First, the concept of civil society should be seen as a heuristic device. Second, the separation between 'civil society' and 'uncivil society' makes sense only in a normative framework, and then exclusively with uncivil society defined as a sub-set of civil society. Third, empirical research on civil society should study the nature of the relationship between civil society organizations and democracy/democratization, rather than assume it. Fourth,'uncivil' movements and contentious politics should be included in the study of civil society.
