Description
Summary:In the space of just a few years, the term 'civil society' has entered the international policy vocabulary in many contexts. The IMF's engagement with civil society organizations (CSOs) raises several broad questions: Which CSOs have been, and should be, engaged by the Fund?

It also seeks to identify the tensions that underlie the relationship.
