Institutions of the peoples

This book elucidates in concise form the role of civil society organizations, which have emerged forcefully on the political scene in recent times. This concept is ancient, and its historical and philosophical roots extend to periods far more remote, as the innate characteristics of human beings since humanity's existence on the earth's surface have organized the relationship between the state and society on the basis of tolerance, cooperation, and the renunciation of violence, and have been built upon social and political respect.
