Abstract

Interest in the concept of civil society has undergone a remarkable renaissance in the 1990s. It is currrently seen as a potential tool to overcome some of the main theoretical and political stalemates. But what exactly does the concept of civil society mean ? Can civil society really be a counterweight to governments which have become too remote from their people ? The Western concept of what constitutes civil society may well have to be adjusted when applied to developing economies where different cultural forces and values come into play. This book takes up the challenge of defining civil society's role in furthering developmental objectives within the context of developing societies themselves. It compares the activities and attitudes of different elements of civil society within the development process, and suggests ways in which they could be made more effective. It also shows that governments should not try to replace their own development activities with those of civil society.

Abstract

L'intérêt pour le concept de société civile connaît un renouveau remarquable. Dans le domaine de la théorie politique, ce concept est actuellement considéré comme un instrument pouvant permettre de sortir de certaines impasses théoriques et politiques. Mais que signifie ce concept ? La société civile peut-elle réellement faire office de contrepoids face à des pouvoirs publics qui ont perdu le contact avec la population ? Sans doute convient-il d'adapter le concept occidental de société civile lorsque celui-ci s'applique aux économies en développement où des facteurs et des valeurs culturels différents entrent en jeu. Cet ouvrage relève un défi : il définit le rôle de la société civile dans le promotion des objectifs de développement au sein même des sociétés en développement. Il compare les activités et les attitudes des différents éléments de la société civile dans le processus de développement et montre comment ceux-ci peuvent gagner en efficacité. Il montre également que les pouvoirs publics ne devraient pas essayer de remplacer leurs propres activités de développement par celles de la société civile.

Abstract

This collection of studies of public attitudes to development co-operation in OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Member countries demonstrates that the concept of "aid fatigue" is misplaced. A serious lack of adequate knowledge about development co-operation, however, is also revealed. The opinions of policy makers are, therefore, overwhelmingly important and development education efforts should be specifically addressed to them. The book also demonstrates that the role of NGOs is important in general development education. Not only do these organisations mobilise their members in the development field, but their activities create a fund of information within their societies. Remarkable progress by both governments and NGOs has been made during the 1990s in improving co-operation domestically and in operational development activities in the field. Most DAC Member countries have significantly increased the involvement of NGOs in their development efforts, and most NGOs have become increasingly effective in their work. The editors conclude that NGOs and governments both need to work towards more and better public and political-level understanding of development efforts. This will require a wide range of complementary activities, some of which are best undertaken by NGOs, and others by government agencies.
