| Europe, viciously divided against itself for centuries, has knit together into a democratic and civil society. |
| This is not good for the health of our democracy, since it often casts civil society in an adversarial relationship to the State. |
| As civil society is steadily developing, some of its elements continue to affect foreign policy. |
| Politically, civil society relies on the separation of powers, political pluralism and public access to state and public affairs. |
| Then the country's emergent civil society collapsed beneath post-communist repression and the kleptocracy of regional robber barons. |
| Thirdly, this process of accession has established very close links between the civil society here and the civil societies of the member states. |
