It has become commonplace to observe the growing pervasiveness and
impact of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). And yet the three
central approaches in International Relations (IR) theory,
Liberalism, Realism and Constructivism, overlook or ignore the
importance of NGOs, both theoretically and politically. Offering a
timely reappraisal of NGOs, and a parallel reappraisal of theory in
IR-the academic discipline entrusted with revealing and explaining
world politics, this book uses practice theory, global governance,
and new institutionalism to theorize NGO accountability and analyze
the history of NGOs. This study uses evidence from empirical data
from Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia and
from studies that range across the issue-areas of peacebuilding,
ethnic reconciliation, and labor rights to show IR theory has often
prejudged and misread the agency of NGOs. Drawing together a group
of leading international relations theorists, this book explores
the frontiers of new research on the role of such forces in world
politics and is required reading for students, NGO activists, and
policy-makers.
