Academics and policy makers have grown increasingly interested in
the ways that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may encourage
better governance, democratic politics, and perhaps ultimately a
global civil society. However, critics of these organizations have
pointed out that NGOs tend to be undemocratic in their internal
politics, they speak for groups of people to whom they are not
accountable through elections or financial support and they often
represent the interests of people in wealthy countries at the
expense of truly indigenous people. The main questions revolve
around whether, and how NGOs actually lead to democratization, and
the ways in which NGOs relate to broader global forces.
In "Civil Society, Globalization and Political Change in Asia,"
Robert Weller has brought together an international group of
experts on the subject whose chapters address these questions
through a series of extensive case studies from east and southeast
Asia including Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam.
