N2  - Broadly speaking, The Oxford Handbook of Civil Society  views the topic of civil society through three prisms: as a  part of society (voluntary associations), as a kind of  society (marked out by certain social norms), and as a  space for citizen action and engagement (the public square  or sphere).
