Examining the exclusionary discourses framing the support for Western-type NGOs in the development discourse - often to the exclusion of local social actors - this book dissects mainstream contemporary ideas about 'civil society', and finds a new means by which to identify local forms of social action, often based in traditional structures and spiritual discourses. Outlining new conceptual ideas for an alternative framing of Mozambique's 'civil society', Kleibl proposes a series of fresh theoretical issues and questions alongside empirical research, moving towards a series of new policy and practice arguments for rethinking and decolonizing civil society in the Global South.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KleiblLutz, author = {Kleibl, Tanja and Lutz, Ronald}, title = {Internationale Soziale Arbeit neu denken - Zur Versch{\"a}rfung Globaler Ungleichheit durch COVID-19}, series = {Sozial Extra}, volume = {44}, booktitle = {Sozial Extra}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s12054-020-00289-0}, pages = {247 -- 251}, abstract = {Covid-19 hat sich {\"u}ber die ganze Welt ausbreitet und kann sie an den Rand eines {\"o}konomischen und politischen Kollapses f{\"u}hren.

Subsequent sections introduce a historical analysis of civil society development and a preliminary mapping of current civil society in Mozambique which begins to set out a more complex understanding of civil society, a concept sometimes reduced to the world of the NGO's. This is followed by a report on a recent roundtable discussion with civil society actors in Mozambique that sparked our interest in this theme. This discussion also articulates a more complex and conflictual understanding of civil society than that held by many international NGO's for example. Finally, we discuss some of the matters arising from our movement from the abstract (the deconstruction of the concept of civil society) to the concrete (our conversations with a range of civil society actors). This work is the start of a broad longer term project with partners in Mozambique seeking to map and thus better understand the complexity of civil society in a country widely seen as test case for development strategies.}, language = {en} } @article{Kleibl, author = {Kleibl, Tanja}, title = {Good Governance, Globalisierung und Partizipation: Eine Debatte um Funktion der Zivilgesellschaft und Wirkung von NGOs}, series = {Blickpunkt Zukunft}, journal = {Blickpunkt Zukunft}, publisher = {Vereinigung Deutscher Wissenschaftler e.V.
