GOVT/EAST 382: Civil Society in Comparative Perspective
Professor of Government Mary Alice Haddad incorporated a Feet to the Fire module into GOVT/EAST382 Civil Society in Comparative Perspective. The seminar examined civil societys role in mediating the dynamic interaction between the society and the state.
