The term 'civil society' typically refers to organisations that mediate between the state and individuals. Political parties, trade unions, business associations, charitable bodies and cultural groups are all examples of civil society organisations. Informal social networks of friends, work colleagues or neighbours can also constitute the building blocks of formal organisations. While civil society organisations are independent of the state, their activities are often in the public interest. Such organisations can make collective representations to government about the direction of public policies, as well as interpreting these policies for their members. Thus, they have an important role to play in European society. Ηλεκτρονικό βιβλίο Τρόπος πρόσβασης μέσω διαδικτύου. Quality of life European Union countries. Electronic books. Rose, Richard.
