It claims that the concept of civil society, as it is frequently used in scientific and political debates, has specific cultural roots, which makcs a trans-cultural analysis difficult or perhaps even impossible. Furthermore, the article addresses three conceptual problems of civil society, namely the issue of what constitutes civil society, its autonomy and impact as well as the challenge of civil society to the state. The central argument of the article is that in order to examine the impact of civil society on governance and democracy, it is recommendable to include three levels of analysis, namely the structure and functions of civil society (including also the possibly negative impact of civil society), the type of state co-existing with civil society as well as the character of the relationship between state and civil society Y1 - 2006 UR - http://www.ceeol.com/aspx/publicationdetails.aspx?publicationId=d56055ca-e456-493b-aba2-6b856bba01b1 SN - 1231-1413 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Schubert, Hans-Joachim T1 - The Chicago School of Sociology : Theorie, Empirie und Methode Y1 - 2006 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Schubert, Hans-Joachim T1 - The Foundations of Pragmatistic Sociology : George Herbert Mead and Charles Horton Cooley Y1 - 2006 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Pohlenz, Philipp T1 - Quality assurance in Sri Lanka teacher trainning evaluation procedures for the assessment of the internship period Y1 - 2006 SN - 3- 937786-08-2 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Franzke, Jochen A1 - Boogers, Marcel A1 - Ruano, Jose M.

However, that has happened at a time when many scientists and some social movements adopt critical stances regarding the concept of identity. This paradox encourages the authors to explore current discourses on regions and regional identity. Major questions are:- What do current discourses on regional identity look like? - Is there any relationship of current projects, institutionalisations and discussions of regional iden-tity with the criticisms of the notion of collective identity? - Do current projects and debates of regional identity pay attention to problems pointed out by such criticism (for example the relationship to the "other", i.e. those who are culturally different)? Key features of the book include:- Case studies on regions in Poland (;wi;tokrzyskie, ;l;skie and Warmi;sko-Mazurskie), Italy (Trentino-South Tyrol, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto) and Germany (Brandenburg including its relation to the city-state Berlin).- Accounts of nation state contexts and current developments in regionalisation, regionalism and federalisation debate.- Thorough exploration of fields most important to the shaping of regional identity (school, regional media, representations of history, regional politics...). - Demonstration of much variation in discourses and projects of regional identity.- Reflections on strategic essentialism and heuristic use of that concept.The authors - sociologists from Warsaw, Trento, Bolzano and Potsdam - collaborated in a project which was funded by the Volkswagen Foundation in its initiative "How do we perceive or shape 'foreign' and 'native' cultural identities? Research on processes of intercultural dissociation, media-tion and identity-shaping"."New regional identities and strategic essentialism" appeals to readers interested in current European regionalism and regionalisation as well as to those more inclined to examine general questions of collective identity coming especially from sociology, political science, social geography, regional sciences, contemporary history, social anthropology or cultural studies.
