The Global Civil Society Yearbook is an annual publication produced by the Global Civil Society Programme at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance at the London School of Economics (LSE). The 387-page volume for 2007-2008 explores advances in technology, stating that they have enhanced global mass media and permitted private worldwide communication while also facilitating civil society’s own global presence. At the same time, the democratic nature of global communication appears very open to question.

Concluding words from the introductory chapter: It is the associational diversity of civil society that provides the basis for communicative democracy and a fertile contrast with the monolithic citizen-state relationship of representative democracy. On past experience the new institutions will only develop and become adequate for the tasks ahead if global civil society debates democracy and communication for itself and the world at large as explicitly as did theorists of democracy for the modern age that has past.
