The Good Society focuses on issues related to the development of civic society, the role of the individual/citizen in society, the significance of lifelong learning in promoting democracy, the role of institutions in civic society development, and the ethical foundations of civic issues in a democratic society. Drawing from many academic disciplines and fields of study, including political science, sociology, economics, communication, and adult education, civic studies is an interdisciplinary effort to understand and strengthen civic society, civic initiatives, civic capacity, civic learning, civic politics, and civic culture. Viewing citizenship as a distinctive civic ideal and set of practices involving creative agency and a commitment to a civic minded co-creation, civic studies is an emerging focus in many disciplines and fields of human endeavor. The Good Society is dedicated to publishing outstanding research and theory—from all disciplinary traditions—addressing pressing contemporary issues. In today’s globalized world, effective civic perspectives demand that we not only bridge ideological divides within our own countries but also engage meaningfully with perspectives from around the world. This helps expand our vision, challenge our assumptions, and foster dialogue beyond our own echo chambers. The Good Society's scope and orientation thus encompasses international civic traditions.
