What would development look like if its practitioners and scholars
were 'against NGOs,' challenging common sense about them? This book
presents a critical perspective on NGOs, describing how they
emerged as key agents of development over time. Through an
interpretative history based on Gramscian concepts it shows how
civil society organizations were gradually enlisted in development
as non-state technocratic actors. The book argues that management
studies and development studies emerged as commonsensical
explanations for capitalist crises. Each offered complementary
solutions to balance the needs of capital and society, in
particular historical circumstances. These solutions also situated
civil society as agents of development and vectors of management.
Against NGOs fills a gap within the literature of management and
development studies through its original discussion of their
historical interconnections and shared themes. The book raises
provocative questions on what forms of knowledge-politics can
respond productively to the crises of our contemporary moment.
