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. Civil society
commonly embraces a diversity of spaces, actors and institutional forms,
varying in their degree of formality, autonomy and power. <b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:

societies are often populated by organisations such as registered charities,

unions, self-help groups, social movements, business associations, coalitions
