Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play an increasingly
prominent role in addressing complex environmental issues such as
climate change, persistent bio-accumulative pollutants, and the
conservation of biodiversity. At the same time, the landscape in
which they operate is changing rapidly. Markets, and direct
engagement with industry, rather than traditional government
regulation, are often the tools of choice for NGOs seeking to
change corporate behavior today. Yet these new strategies are
poorly understood-by business, academics, and NGOs themselves. How
will NGOs choose which battles to fight, differentiate themselves
from one another in order to attract membership and funding, and
decide when to form alliances and when to work separately? In Good
Cop/Bad Cop, Thomas P. Lyon brings together perspectives on
environmental NGOs from leading social scientists, as well as
leaders from within the NGO and corporate worlds, to assess the
state of knowledge on the tactics and the effectiveness of
environmental groups. Contributions from Greenpeace, Rainforest
Action Network, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the World
Wildlife Fund describe each organization s structure and key
objectives, and present case studies that illustrate how each
organization makes a difference, especially with regard to its
strategies toward corporate engagement. To provide additional
perspective, high-level executives from BP and Ford share their
views on what causes these relationships between companies and NGOs
to either succeed or fail. For students of the social sciences and
NGO practitioners, this book takes an important step in addressing
an urgent need for objective study of NGO operations and their
effectiveness.
