Abstract

State has generally been considered, internally and externally as the most powerful independent political authority. However, it has to engage with civil society and public sphere, the two significant components of nation-state polity at home. Globalization has profound impact on this power structure and shifted it to global level. Globalization also brought with it mundane issues like climate change which the state alone is incapable to cope with. Several powerful states and MNCs even become obstacle in fighting it. Civil society organizations (CSOs) with their limited resources are combating this issue that threatens human existence on this planet. However, ICTs enabled new public sphere brings in a ray of hope by opening new prospects for CSOs to deal with this threat. This article is meant to juxtapose the diversity of research-findings into a compact piece of knowledge and show strengths of NPS for civil society in perspective of climate change.
