How do a few Third World political movements become global causes
celebres, while most remain isolated? This book rejects dominant
views that needy groups readily gain help from selfless
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Instead, they face a
Darwinian struggle for scarce resources where support goes to the
savviest, not the neediest. Examining Mexico's Zapatista rebels and
Nigeria's Ogoni ethnic group, the book draws critical conclusions
about social movements, NGOs, and "global civil society."
