Description: This paper explores the debates around civil society and corporatism as ways of understanding changes in social association, including NGOs and protest groups, and information management in relation to the development of the Internet. The author uses a center-margin analysis based on medium theory to explore the relationship between the state and society as a way of shedding light on the interaction between the government and NGOs and on how the state manages the flow of information in order to shape public discourse.
