This volume draws on a Foucauldian understanding of governmentality
to explore how EU civil society funding policies depoliticise civil
society organisations. It questions whether international civil
society funding always depoliticises civil society organisations,
as the literature on governmentality and international civil
society policies argues. The author examines how the liberal and
neo-liberal rationalities of EU funding have both politicising and
depoliticising effects on the human rights organisations funded,
and demonstrates that whether the effects help or prevent the
politicisation of human rights depends on how legitimate or
contested the issue is domestically and how the civil society
organisations act in this political context. These themes are
explored through an in-depth analysis of the case of Turkey and EU
funding of organisations working in the fields of women, LGBT and
Kurdish rights. Unpacking liberal and neo-liberal governmentality
in EU democracy promotion and civil society funding, this
insightful contribution to the literature will be of interest to
scholars of International Relations, Middle East Studies, European
Studies and democracy promotion.
