Résumé :

The idea of civil society represents a complex concept, which includes several different roles. Understating its nature and its goals in one definition is a challenge. Usually the civil society is described as a space, different from the market and the state, where citizens can be engaged with each other not under control of state or market.
This definition includes the notion of communities' ties, and describes the civil society as a sphere of solidarity. Some other definitions talk about the civil society as a marketplace for negotiating social values and social relationships and where individuals associate for "common good".

This notion is quite close from another one: the notion of non-profit sector that Frumklin (2006) defines as "the non-profit and voluntary sector is the contested arena between the state and the market where public and private concerns meet and where individual and social efforts are united".
Indeed the goals of the civil society and the non-profit sector are quite similar: advocacy of values, innovation, service, community building for example. Moreover these two sectors are more and more seen as a means for resolving the problems of contemporary society (Powell and Guerin, 1997).
As a consequence, they share more and more links with the state. That reveals a central question: what are the results of this relation for the civil society and non-profit sector, usually describes as independent from the state?
