About the Book
Development, NGOs and Civil Society explores the impact of neo-liberalism and the Washington Consensus on governance, democratization, and the role of both the State and civil society in development. The book examines the growing importance of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly as public sector spending has declined, leaving NGOs to fill the gap in service delivery. It also tackles the complex issue of NGOs' political roles, questioning whether they truly represent the disenfranchised or whether they are simply acting as extensions of government agendas.
The key tension described in the book is whether NGOs can both reduce governments' involvement in basic services while claiming to represent the interests of marginalized communities. Jenny Pearce's introduction sets the stage for a discussion about the legitimacy of NGOs as independent political actors and how they differ, if at all, from the government agencies they rely on for funding.
The book will be of interest to those involved in NGO work, policy-making, or development studies, offering a critical examination of the current roles and responsibilities of NGOs in a changing global landscape.
