Abstract

In 1976, in the first edition of this book, Peter Berger and Richard John Neuhaus anticipated the major worldwide project of the 1990s: the renewal of civil society. They showed that such mediating structures as family, neighbourhood, church, and voluntary and civil associations are crucial institutions, whose weakening spells disaster. Now, with many of their ideas vindicated, the authors have returned to their original argument to assess what has succeeded, what went wrong and what remains to be done. Contributors include: Douglas J. Besharov, Stuart M. Butler, William A. Galston, David G. Green, Michael Horowitz, Michael S. Joyce, Leslie Lenkowsky, James P. Pinkerton, William A. Schambra and Robert L. Woodson.
