Debating Development Ngos And the Future

"While NGOs have enjoyed a high profile in recent years, there are signs that their heyday is over. The spotlight has fallen on the failings of NGOs and on the limitations in what they can achieve. In the face of accusations of complacency, self-interest, and ineffectiveness, NGOs are increasingly challenged to prove their legitimacy as representative voices of civil society. They find themselves taking hard look at their mandates, their core values, and their role on a changing international stage. In this volume, leading representatives of NGOs, development think-tanks, and civil-society organizations, as well as scholars and activists for 15 countries ask: What model of international cooperation can deliver social and economic justice? And what does this mean for NGOs in the future?"Eade, Deborah is the author of 'Debating Development Ngos And the Future' with ISBN 9780855984441 and ISBN 0855984449.
