   Civil Society News and Resources for the former USSR

   CivilSoc is an electronic mailing list of news and resources,
   electronic and print, of interest to individuals and
   organizations engaged in civil society institution-building
   projects in the NIS (former USSR).  Because some subscribers
   based in the NIS must pay for all incoming mail, we intend to
   keep postings concise: an average of 1-3 kilobytes, with a
   monthly volume of around 20-30 kilobytes.

   Examples of items that CivilSoc will contain include:

     *  Books and resources available in print and electronically
     *  Civil society institution building projects in the NIS
     *  Curriculum available via e-mail, and other distance
        learning materials
     *  Grant Opportunities
     *  Lists of e-mail contacts
     *  Reviews of Internet mailing lists (Listservs)
     *  Job opportunities
     *  Brief profiles of 3rd sector organizations worth knowing
        about

   Topics that CivilSoc will cover include:

     *  Agriculture
     *  Art
     *  American studies
     *  Business
     *  Civic education
     *  Consumer protection
     *  Criminal justice
     *  Disabilities
     *  Environment
     *  Health
     *  Law
     *  Media
     *  NGO organizational development
     *  Public administration
     *  Social welfare

   A regular feature will be an electronic edition of CCSI's
   monthly newsletter, "Civil Society ... East and West."
