Which of the following is not a characteristic of civil society, according to Larry Diamond ?

In 'Rethinking Civil Society: Toward Democratic Consolidation' (1994), Larry Diamond defined civil society as an open, voluntary, self-generating public sphere standing as an intermediary between the private sphere and the state. While civil society does not seek to win formal state office itself, it IS closely 'related to the state' (monitoring, limiting, legitimizing, and making demands on the state), making statement (4) ('Neither related to the state in any way...') incorrect.
