Doug,
The use of the term "civil society" comes from Marxian formulations of the
concept, and in this form it does come from Hegel, as you noted. Gramsci's
formulation is emerging as the dominant meaning in political economy (see
Gill or Robinson).

John Ehrenberg, author of the excellent "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" is
currently working on a book about this very topic. It probably originated in
Eastern Europe in the way that you describe, but it has been au courant in
Latin American and Central American as well. Jorge Castaneda, the Mex

Doug,
By far the best article I've read on this is by Ellen Wood (the evil
social democrat, you remember?), called "The Uses and abuses of civil
society". It's a chapter of here book, *Democracy versus Capitalism* (or
against capitalism-don't remember).

Doug, I first encountered the phrase "civil society" in a course on Marxism
in the early 1970s (taught by William McBride, I believe): Marx's
"burgherlicte geselleshaft" (sp??) could be translated as either "bourgeois
society" or "civil society." But I think that the basic idea of civil
society go
I would suggest that a national element in Foucault's
late turn to Austrian style liberalism is the nature of the
French state and society. It has long been dirigiste and
etatiste in comparison to most other societies and still
is, with one of the strongest ongoing systems of indicative

Could anyone enlighten me on the evolution of the term civil society? As I
understand it, Hegel used it to signify the world of market relations. But
it has come to signify a "third sector," the world of philanthropies,
community orgnizations, volunteerism, meant as a balance to state and
market.

The journal Latin American Perspectives has had many articles on Latin
American Marxism over the years. It also publishes a fair amount of
articles by Latin American authors.

Peron was no fascist. He was a nationalist who represent the class interests
of a developing Argentinian bourgeoisie that felt thwarted by the
traditional comprador bourgeoisie tied to British capital. In the
furtherance of the goals of this wing of Argentinian capital, he drew upon
