Shirin Saeidi’s “A Passionate Pursuit of Justice: Towards an Ethics of IslamicFeminist Research Practice” is a well-researched and thought-provokingpiece on the question of how a scholar investigating lived practices (of Islam,in this case) may fruitfully deploy feminist theoretical perspectives;in particular, “how a feminist committed to breaking down hierarchiesbetween research participants and herself can carefully study ambiguousactivism.” By “ambiguous activism” the author seems to mean the practicesof groups or forms of life toward which the author feels morally ambivalent.Her essay is a judicious combination of literature review of feministtheorization, methodological reflection, and self-reflection in the contextof her object of study. Her object of study is Iran’s Hezbollah, a conservativecultural movement backed by the mullahs and in this respect, quite unlikeother Islamist movements in the Middle East; a movement, Saeidi notes,which may be regarded as both “oppressive, but also suppressed.” Whileenjoying powerful backing by the Supreme Leader (still the king-maker inIran) it struggles within civil society against secularization and individualisticreligiosity introduced by neoliberalism ...

The purpose of this chapter is to establish a robust and reliable reference framework on the ecosystem of NGOs and Civil Society for literature review in scholarly contributions and publications. Furthermore, we seek to clarify the position and scope of NGOs within the third sector and civil society. We position NGOs on the sphere of political influence where they negotiate agendas, form coalitions with local and international partners, mobilize constituencies for policy change, and ultimately engage in all stages of the policy process. Finally, we discuss their increased role as key players in times of severe financial constraints. Two voids are identified: the absence of a protective policy framework that can shield NGOs from economic contraction consequences, and the void in evaluation frameworks that can measure their quality of performance.

This article discusses interventions by Islamic-based institutions during coronavirus pandemic in Auckland, New Zealand and Jakarta, Indonesia. The aim of this article is to compare the interventions implemented by various Islamic-based institutions both in Auckland and in Jakarta. The method consists of literature review, informal interviews, and participant observations. There are three types of Islamic-based institutions: the formal institutions with its hierarchy and leadership, the independent non-governmental communities, and the informal local communities. In Auckland, the interventions were mostly done by the independent non-governmental communities and informal local communities. Kiwi Muslims tended to seek spiritual and material help at the closest Islamic-based institutions. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the interventions were mostly implemented by formal institutions such as Majelis Ulama Indonesia (Indonesian Council of Ulama) with different kinds of support from large Islamic civil society organizations, such as Nahdalatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah. MUI’s interventions aimed for wide acceptance among all Indonesian Muslims, but fatalistic and deterministic perspectives among many Indonesian Muslims led to low effort in mitigating pandemic and less compliance with MUI and government’s regulations.

Open data platforms are being widely adapted in cities with a promise to boost the economy and empower citizens. However, researchers have drawn attention to the ineffectiveness of such initiatives, unless they are designed taking into account the local context and ecosystem of actors. Yet, literature review demonstrates a gap in addressing individual motivations of actors and in particular discrete civil society actors to use open data. Building upon studies on individual motivations in open government, we propose a heuristic model of interconnection between societal outcomes of open data and individual motivations of the actors.Analysis of the open data initiative and ecosystem in Lyon is based on interviews and platform analysis. Our findings show that civil society actors in Lyon have the expertise to create knowledge and services from open data, but they fail to appropriate the latter for the lack of communication channels with the platform managers. Consequently, possible modalities of interaction are discussed and further research agenda is proposed to better understand the connection between individual motivations, open data platform design and broader societal outcomes.

One of the big problems facing this nation is the spread of hoaxes or fake news. This was triggered partly because of the strengthening of the post truth phenomenon and the ease of disseminating information through social media and conversation applications such as WhatsApp. This study intends to describe the use of digital literacy to counteract hoaxes in the era of disruption. This era was marked by information flooding, rapid and deep-seated changes, and the use of very high internet-based technology. The literature review is used as this research method. The conclusion of this study is that hoaxes can be resisted by developing massive digital literacy skills. Digital literacy skills include eight essential elements: cultural (understanding context), cognitive (expanding mind), constructive (creating positive things), communicative (capable of communicating and networking), confident (confident and responsible), creative (doing new things), critical (critically addressing content), civic (supporting the realization of civil society). The development and strengthening of digital literacy can be done especially in schools, campuses, and other educational institutions.

This article sets out to review the extant literature on civil society. Indeed the literature on civil society abounds with several views and perspectives, especially on the theoretical debates on the concept. However, in order to avoid the unnecessary entanglement of the unending theoretical debates that have characterized the subject, the article focuses on the activities and operations as well as the usefulness of civil society in the twenty first century. The article consequently tries to identify the literature that discusses the activities of civil society across the globe. It begins by giving a general background to the concept of civil society. This is then followed by discussions on civil society and how it relates to democracy and democratic consolidation and development in different parts of the world with particular emphasis on Africa. It then examines the activities of CSOs in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region (with emphasis on Malaysia). It further examines the changing nature of CSOs in the midst of global crisis by discussing how civil society has operated in challenging times amidst financial crisis, terrorism, etc. It concludes by suggesting some new ways of understanding civil society.
