This book is an introduction to the wide-ranging topic of
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and development, combining a
critical overview of the main research literature with a set of
up-to-date theoretical and practical insights drawn from experience
in Asia, Europe, Africa and elsewhere. The revised second edition
highlights the continuing importance of NGOs in development, while
fully engaging with the criticisms that their increased profile now
attracts. It considers issues such as securitization, changing
technologies, and recent concerns about safeguarding as well as
going into more detail around topics such as market-based
development and social enterprise. The diversity of NGOs and their
roles is discussed against the broader historical background of
struggles for social justice in different societies, as well as
within the shifting ideological contexts of neoliberalism and
populism. Using a broad range of short case studies of both
successful and unsuccessful interventions, the authors analyze how
interest in NGOs has both reflected and informed wider theoretical
trends and debates within development studies. The book argues that
NGOs are central to both development theory and practice and are
likely to remain important actors for many years to come. This
critical overview will be useful to students of development studies
at undergraduate and master's levels in fields and disciplines as
diverse as International Development Studies, International
Relations, Geography, Anthropology, Global Studies, Politics and
International Studies, as well as general readers and
practitioners.
