"The Committee on Civil Society Research in Sweden decided

to organise a seminar titled Global Civil Society - More or Less De-

mocracy? at the WSF in Nairobi in January 2007, focusing on de-

mocracy and civil society in the context of contemporary globalisa-

tion. It was also decided to follow up the seminar with a publication,

inviting additional contributors who were not part of the seminar in

Nairobi, but who have a strong interest in issues related to global civil

society. The key questions we asked were:

* What are implications for democracy of the increasing number

and activities of NGOs, social movement organisations and private

foundations globally �whether we choose to conceptualise these

as "civil society" or not?

* In what sense does (or can) global civil society contribute to fur-

ther democratisation in an era of globalisation?

* In what sense can global civil society undermine democratisation

processes? "
