Invited Session
Civil sphere theory (CST) has been presented as a general sociological theory of democracy, its cultural codes, institutional structures, debilitating contradictions, and conditions for civil repair. Empirical applications of CST, however, have been mostly confined to the global north. Wide-ranging efforts to rectify this parochialism are currently underway. This session will highlight studies that apply, develop, and revise CST in relation to Latin America and East Asia.
