Strengthening civil societies

The existence of civil societies depends on the capacity to create and maintain them. This program investigates what kinds of action strengthen civil societies. Public policy for the management and infrastructure of civil societies is assessed; initiatives to promote social capital and cultural cohesion are evaluated.

The convener is Professor Jenny Onyx.

Projects include:
