NGOization: Complicity, contradictions & Prospects
The growth and spread of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at local and international levels has attracted considerable interest and attention from policy-makers, development practitioners, academics and activists around the world. But how has this phenomenon impacted on struggles for social and environmental justice? How has it challenged – or reinforced – the forces of capitalism and colonialism? And what political, economic, social and cultural interests does this serve? NGOization – the professionalization and institutionalization of social action – has long been a hotly contested issue in grassroots social movements and communities of resistance. ‘NGO-ization’ pulls together for the first time unique perspectives of social struggles and critically-engaged scholars from wide range of geographical and political contexts, to offer a evidence-based insight into the tensions and challenges of the NGO model while considering the feasibility of alternatives.
