What is a civil society?

Even though it seems to be a very sophisticated concept, the civil society represents the “third sector” of society, next to the other two sectors - the state and the business.  

The state ensures governance, the business – economic development and the civil society addresses those issues, which remain uncovered by the state or business. Usually civil society is represented by public associations (NGOs), in other words - by ordinary people who get togheter led by their wish to do something for a particular group of beneficiaries – these could be either people with specific needs, or ones who require special assistance.
