Nongovernmental organizations act on behalf of citizens in politics
and society. Yet many question their legitimacy and ask who they
speak for. This book investigates how NGOs can become stronger
advocates for citizens and better representatives of their
interests. Sabine Lang analyzes the choices that NGOs face in their
work for policy change between working in institutional settings
and practicing public advocacy that incorporates constituents'
voices. Whereas most books on NGOs focus on policy effectiveness,
using approaches that treat accountability largely as a matter of
internal performance measurements, Lang instead argues that it is
ultimately several public accountabilities that inform NGO
legitimacy. The case studies in this book use empirical research
from the European Union, the United States, and Germany to point to
governments' role in redefining the conditions for NGOs' public
advocacy.
