Pierre Lantz, Civil Society and Political Society
The distinction between civil society and political society suggests the perspective of a minimizing or the diminuation of the State, defined in terms of the sovereignty that it exercises over its territory. The extension of civil society from this point of view is not limited by the territorial borders of the State. If the ideas of Marx on the withering away of the State seem unclear, and the notion of civil society is more coherent in the thought of liberals and anarchists, it is not, however, more realistic. In order to avoid confusion between the notion and the reality, it is prudent to consider the distinction between the State and civil society as an interlocking relation. The State, as a sovereign organization, is pressured by the more informal forces of the civil society. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
