The CES (Center for Social Studies) of the University of Coimbra in Portugal organizes for this semester a cycle of seminar titled “Poderes Locais e Participação” coordinated by Prof. Giovanni Alegretti.
On Saturday 25 of March 2017, starting from 10 am, the lecture “Beyond networks. Civil society coalitions in the global arena” is scheduled. It will be the occasion to present the book “Beyond networks – Interlocutory Coalitions, the European and Global Legal Orders” published by Springer but also to make a point of the pragmatisms of civil society actors: indeed they defend ethical values, but increasingly they operate as business companies, with consequences for advocacy priorities, strategies and goals.
