Abstract

Civil Society is an essential prerequisite for citizens’ wellbeing, as achieved through a functioning democracy, rule of law, and governmental accountability. This chapter puts forth the argument that Civil Society, in its many forms such as non-profit organisations, unions, and associations, is becoming increasingly ineffective in performing its essential functions and preserving civil and human rights of citizens. This lack of effectiveness is leading to a lack of independence between Civil Society and the Government, in part due to financial influence. It is proposed that a culture of impunity is being generated, wherein Civil Society Organisations have ceased to effectively confront societal issues of dubious moral actions by the State. A number of instances which highlight this culture of impunity are presented, exemplifying the fundamental role of Civil Society in fostering a sense of belonging whilst strengthening shared values and social relations amongst citizens. The chapter concludes with observations about how participation in Civil Society can be reconceptualised in order to overcome the issues discussed.
