This second volume of this publication opens with a chapter on the state of global civil society before and after 11 September, followed by chapters on the limits of global civil society, and on global civil society and religion. There are three issue-oriented case studies: corporate social responsibility, on HIV/Aids, and on the International Criminal Court. Three infrastructure chapters discuss the media and access to global public debates, organisational forms, and global cities and diasporic networks. The book's Records section contains a discussion piece on the global civil society index, a data section, a section on parallel summits, a chronology of global civil society events in 2001, and updates on last year's chapters. The Global Civil Society Yearbook is a joint project of the Centre for Civil Society and the Centre for the Study of Global Governance. It is the flagship publication of LSE's Global Civil Society Programme. The Yearbook is envisaged as a landmark publication similar to the Human Development Report, The State of the World's Refugees or the SIPRI Yearbook.
