  7. What is civil society? • The arena of uncoerced collective action around shared interests, purposes and values. In theory, its institutional forms are distinct from those of the state, family and market, though in practice, the boundaries between state, civil society, family and market are often complex, blurred and negotiated. Centre for Civil Society, London School of Economic • The principal structures of society outside of government and public administration, including economic operators not generally considered to be "third sector" or NGOs. European Commission, “The specific role of civil society organizations”. • The multitude of associations around which society voluntarily organizes itself and which represent a wide range of interests and ties. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
