Civil Society
This arena in the political system is
where persons get familiar and interested in public
issues and how rules tend to affect the articulation
of interests from society. The way rules are constituted
in order to channel participation in public affairs
is generally considered an important aspect of governance.
For example, much of the recent literature on democratization
indicates the important role that citizens have played
in reshaping the rules so as to enhance their own input
into the making of public policy. In Latin America as
well as Eastern Europe, political reforms have been
the result of socialization in the context of social
movements, intensified political communication, and
an enhanced articulation of interests that previously
were latent for fear of public authority.
