I had missed the Helly Hansen and Ellesse capture… particularly the latter sounds a bit desperate.

Funnily, I have now returned to the concept of "civil society" in my work on football/soccer ⚽ and politics, again seeing the complexity of "civil versus uncivil" in, for example, the political actions and views of ultras around the world.

We also edited this book, one of the favorite projects of my career, which problematized the "civil - uncivil" distinction and the simplistic binaries in the literature on relationships to (liberal) democracy.

My friend Petr Kopecky and I worked on the concept of civil society in the early 2000s, reflecting critically on the overly positive and optimistic (western) literature of the 1990s, mostly on Eastern Europe. We proposed a rethink of the concept and rejected the exclusion of "uncivil" society.
