Abstract

This chapter discusses the importance of civil society for democratisation and introduces the two “schools of thought”: civil society conceptualised mostly as formal organisations (NGOs, voluntary associations) and civil society as an arena for informal civic activism (social movements). It also presents the peculiarities of communist and post-communist civil society. The chapter concludes with an assessment of Armenian civil society at the outset of our research project and shortly re-states the three main hypotheses, tested in the book.
