How does global civil society works

Global Civil Society is about understanding globalization from 'below'. In other words, from ordinary people's perspectives.

They operate across borders and beyond the reach of governments. Civil society organizations can include community groups, non-governmental organisations, social movements, labor unions, indigenous groups, charitable organisations, faith-based organisations, media operators, academia, diaspora groups, lobby and consultancy groups, think tanks and research centers, professional associations, and foundations.

The 'global' part is doing all of these things at an international scale. Think of global civil society as the space outside the government and corporate 'stuff'.

I did some research on this myself. Hope it helps somewhat.
