Knowledge and Civil Society

Civil society organisations provide a voice for society's disorganized and voiceless segments. They raise social awareness and advocate for change by empowering local communities to create new programmes to meet their own needs. In order to develop policy and implement new strategies, civil society collaborates with the government. The book focuses on the role of civil society in the creation, dissemination, and interpretation of knowledge in geographical contexts.
