Against the bleak backdrop of pressing issues in today's world, civil societies remain vibrant, animated by people's belief that they should and can solve such issues and build a better society. Their imagining of a good society, their understanding of their engagement, and the ways they choose to act constitute the cultural aspect of civil society. Central to this is the "culture democratact," including normative values, individual interpretations, and interaction norms pertaining to democratic society, such as civility, independence, and solidarity. The culture of democracy varies in different contexts afacesees challenges, but it shapes civic actions, alters political and social processes, and thus is the soul of modern civil societies. From a committed global perspective, The Culture of Democracy provides the first systematic survey of the cultural sociology of civil society.
