Global Civil Society 2002, the second in this annual landmark series, edited by Helmut Anheier, Marlies Glasius and Mary Kaldor from the London School of Economics, will continue to engage in fundamental and topical debates about global civil society, giving more explicit attention this year to the role of civil society in different political and cultural contexts around the world, with contributions from noted scholars including Abdullahi An-Na'im and Saskia Sassen. The opening chapter will discuss recent developments, focusing in particular on the various impacts of 11 September on global civil society. Other essays consider global civil society and religion and global civil society's relation with entrenched corporate and state power structures. Case studies will examine global civil society activities on Aids and other diseases, on the International Criminal Court and in relation to corporate social responsibility. Further chapters will discuss how global civil society is organised, the role of the media in giving access to global public debates, and the role of diaspora networks in the politics of global cities. The closing section will again provide a wealth of data on global civil society. It will contain a chronology of the global civil society events of 2001, new information on parallel global civil society summits, and updates on last year's topics. Its unique table programme will map and measure processes of globalisation and the thickening international rule of law, and provide new information on international non-governmental organisations and their leaders, on norms and values people hold all over the world, and on their participation in global civil society through activism, giving or volunteering.
