This discussion is important for two reasons; firstly, democratization in many countries is oftenly being initiated by civil society movements seeking for political changes. It has been the role of civil society that has opened up demand for more social-political freedom. Hence, a question is raised in this article, what do we meant by civil society? How is it formed?

The article argues that civil society is a vital factor in democratization process in many non-democratic countries either in Eastern Europe, South America or Asia. It can be argued that civil society has the ability to deal with repressive, hegemonic and dominative government actions against the people.
