Société civile et participation politique.. Le cas de la coopération au développement

Abstract

Civil society in its recent developments is a heterogeneous set of organizations, with an ill-defined political status. Whether one approaches the issue from the standpoint of political philosophy, or from the contingencies of international co-operation, no clear-cut answer can be given to the questions at hand: Who embodies civil society? Who can decide? Where does its legitimacy lie? How does it connect with political institutions? What can the role of Northern ONGs be in the South? The answer always sounds: "It depends": on the kind of organization, the field of intervention, circumstances, power relationships, even history. To make participative democracy fit with representative democracy does not question just civil society.
