Global Civil Society and NGOs - Internationalism Beyond Eurocentrism?
“Civil society” and “NGO” are political buzz-words. Public services are handled over to “voluntary” organisations. “NGOs” (or WGOs, Western Government-supported Organizations) are used for political intervention. • Global Civil Society – more or less democracy? • NGOs and their role in foreign politics and ”democracy promotion”? • Professionalism and donor dependency versus lay activism?
