NGOs, Knowledge Production and Global Humanist Advocacy is an
empirically and theoretically rich account of how international
non-governmental organisations produce knowledge of and formulate
understandings about the world around them. The author applies
critical and sociological perspectives to analyse the social and
political limits of knowledge generated in support of global
advocacy efforts aimed at enhancing human rights and preventing
violent conflicts. It is found that, despite their transnational
networks and claims to humanist universality, the proximity of
global advocates to Western power structures and elite social
spaces delimits their worldviews and curtails the potential for
radical departures from mainstream political thinking. This book
will be of interest to scholars and students of international
relations, human rights, the sociology of knowledge, peace and
conflict studies, and critical security studies.
