Civil Sphere in Latin America

June 24 & 25, 2016

Yale University ~ New Haven, CT

This was the first in a series of conference-book projects to globalize civil sphere theory (CST). Examining the civil sphere in social settings outside the United States, these conferences will not only apply CST but creatively elaborate and revise it.

Funded by Corporación Visionarios por Colombia and Yale University’s Macmillan Center for International and Area Studies, The Civil Sphere in Latin America conference took place in New Haven, Connecticut, on June 24-25, 2016.
