Abstract
abstract: In this study, we addressed the conceptual aspect of
civil society, where we found multiple theoretical interpretations,
with differing opinions from thinkers based on their ideologies.
Among the most prominent of these are social contract theories,
leading up to Hegel and Marx, in addition to contemporary ideas
from Antonio Gramsci and thinkers in the Arab and Islamic world.
Moreover, the concept of local development emerged, which
refers to efforts aimed at improving citizens' livelihoods,
achieving societal welfare, and fulfilling outlined objectives in
various sectors
The study highlighted the role of civil society in achieving local
development. Civil society actors are considered the third pillar
of the overall political system, alongside the private and public
sectors. While civil society focuses on developmental aspects, it is
characterized by its natural emergence based on the concepts of
initiative, volunteerism, and institutional legal frameworks. It
enjoys legal personality and aims to participate in decision-
making, offer suggestions at the local level, and address
government developmental shortcomings in certain areas and for
specific groups in society.
However, this study also allowed us to identify a range of
challenges that civil society faces, which limit its effectiveness in
performing its functions, along with the necessary solutions to
address these challenges.
