Spanning two previously separate areas of research – civil society and elites – this book sheds new light on how certain individuals emerge as members of a civil society elite and traces interactions with elite groups from party politics, the state, and the business sector.

This edited volume analyses how such processes are influenced by reliance on foreign funding and explores how they play out in two settings – where the political space for civil society is generally shrinking (Cambodia) and where it is relatively expanding (Indonesia).
