《Civil Society》是一部探討公民自發行動與公共生活的經典著作，也是理解「公民社會」不可或缺的重要文本。面對近年來席捲全球的抗議運動與社會動盪，本書提醒我們：真正能長期塑造社會的力量，往往並不只存在於街頭或新聞焦點中，而是深植於人們日常參與的志願組織、社群與公民網絡之中。Civil Society has become a standard work of reference for anyone seeking to understand the role of voluntary citizen action in shaping society.Recent waves of global unrest have highlighted the visibility and impact of social movements and street protests in world politics.

中國商會的起源與清末中國頒布商法關係密切，商會網絡出現的原因在於連結不同地域、行業、族群之間的商會。中國的商會從清末起已形成細密的網絡系統，足見商人的高度組織能力，與有管理學家批評中國人只「強於關係」而「弱於組織」顯然不符。本書共收論文八篇，書末附有〈香港及海外華商會、華商團體史研究文獻目錄〉近二百條。本書討論的對象，主要為商人和商會網絡，另論及商會所發揮的社會功能，都以不同的商會為研究個案。本書
