Academics and practitioners alike recognize that global governance
institutions suffer from a democratic deficit. Many have looked to
transnational civil society as a means of remediation. Yet a clear
gap has begun to emerge between normative hopes and empirical
reality. Using new data from civil society engagements with the
World Bank, this book shows how transnational civil society
organizations prioritize pre-existing mission over responsiveness
to claimed stakeholders, undertake activism in line with financial
incentives, achieve impacts using elite channels of influence, and
undercut the authority of developing country governments. It
explores the structural roots of these patterns and examines their
impact on democratic representation. It also offers practical
advice for how these negative patterns can be moderated through new
practices at the Bank and new norms within civil society.
