Civil society is considered as a community of citizens linked by common interests and collective activities. In a broader spectrum it is seen as the sum of institutions and non-governmental organizations that demonstrate and express the interests and will of citizens. Its meaning has undergone significant changes and may vary in different national contexts. In modern political science, civil society is considered the intermediary between the state and the private sector. Civil society can be defined as the sphere of organized, open, voluntary social life, bound by a legal system or a set of shared rules (Diamond, 1999). In a civil society, individual citizens can act collectively to claim their rights from the state or express their opinions regarding state affairs to maintain a check on the state's authority and to ensure its accountability. In view of this, civil society can incorporate a variety of associations dealing with business and public issues. They include issue-oriented civic, educational, and religious interest groups and associations. While some of these are known as NGOs (non-governmental organisations), the others are loosely structured and informal. Formal equality in any respect is when the persons under consideration have the same status in that normatively relevant respect. The separation of socioeconomic inequalities from formal political equality therefore implies that civil society is compatible with social differences and divisions. Civil society and promoting democratization are related. Civil society helps build and protect a democratic framework (Blakeley and Bryson, 2002). In some countries, the role of elites is also responsible for how specific state affairs are handled. its residents.BibliographyDiamond, Larry. The development of democracy: towards consolidation.
