Introduction

The course addresses civil society as a concept and social practice. It is set aside for MA students who specialize in social sciences (from political science to social philosophy). It is supposed that students who signed up for the course have already studied courses in the history of philosophical and political thought, general theory of democracy and are acquainted with the problems of ransition to democracy. The course will be provided in Ukrainian though students are supposed to make a lot of reading in other languages, especially in English.

Theory of civil society was developed by political and social philosophers during centuries. Nowadays it is becoming also a subject of applied sociological and political research. So, in many aspects the topic of civil society require interdisciplinary approach. Still,the course directely deals with socio-cultural conditions of politics and therefore perfectly fits the curriculum of the Department of Political Science. After studying this course students will have broader vision of connection between social and political life, society and state.

Many Western scholars (L. Diamond, E. Gellner, J. Keane, and others) admit, that the notion of civil society is more precise and sociologically concrete than the notion of democratization. It provides a good starting point for the analysis of post-communist transformation. At the same time, being usually accepted on the everyday level, civil society concept often seems to have ambiguous meaning on the level of theory — because of unfinished discussions over its stages, functions and traits. In this aspect lies the great methodological value of the proposed course for MA students who are supposed to move political theory on, explaining puzzles and resolving dilemmas. 

Goals and Objectives of the Course

Goals

The general aim of the course is to help students to better understand major pillars for and challenges to contemporary democratic regimes, as well as the problems of transition to democracy — by means of going in depth of contemporary debate over the problem of civil society. Besides, the course will show the explanatory and prognostic capacity of Political Science because the topic of civil society occupies advanced positions within contemporary social theory.

The more concrete goals of the course are:

  • to get students familiar with contemporary debate about social and cultural background of democratic stabilization and about civil society as a condition and manifestation of liberty;
  • to engage them into discussion about meanings, uses, internal structure and functions of civil society, especially in the context of transition to democracy;
  • to give students broader vision of the challenges on the road of democratic transformation.

Objectives

At the beginning, the stages of evolution of civil society (as a concept and a reality, which it designates) will be considered. From there we will proceed with the study of different understandings of the phenomenon, paying special attention to current debate on the subject. After an attempt to work out (or to choose) a compromised and, at the same time, empirically useful definition, we will examine different dimensions of civil society (structural, cultural, and interactive) and turn to comparative analysis of civil society modulations in old and new democracies. Finally, we will study historical tradition and present situation with development of civil society in Ukraine and confront challenges to its successful institutionalization.

The main learning outcome should be higher level of competence in the aspects of political and social theory described above, ability to teach the topic for lower level students and to choose more concrete topic for doing research. Familiarization with the range of activity and literature of Ukrainian “third sector“ may stimulate for co-operation with its institutions.
