The monograph shows the history of the formation of the concept of «civil society», the role and place of civil society in the modern world. Considering the civil society in the context of globalization, the author makes predictions about the future prospects, particularly in Europe, based on the analysis of the formation of EU policy towards civil society, development of mechanisms for the European civil society participation in the European integration processes. On the basis of the existing systems of measurement and evaluation of civil society, the author proposes a system of definitions of civil society models in the European Union countries.
