Abstract

This timely book examines the representation of civil society in news media, exploring the popular understanding of this contested space in relation to conflicting legitimating frames: as the neo-liberal Big Society, activist political participation, or postmodern apolitical tolerance. With close reference to prominent news stories, including the UK state visit of Pope Benedict XVI, anti-austerity protests and industrial action, police infiltration of the environmental movement, and the Occupy camp at St Paul's Cathedral in London, News and Civil Society scrutinises different facets of contemp

Abstract

Cet ouvrage traite des transformations sociopolitiques au Maroc à travers un prisme d’observation particulier : celui des trajectoires de trente femmes devenues dirigeantes d’association dans des quartiers populaires de la ville de Casablanca. Comment ont-elles réussi à s’imposer comme leaders dans un milieu associatif qui, il y a encore quelques années, était un terrain de jeu avant tout masculin ? Assistons-nous aujourd’hui à un renouvellement des élites associatives locales qui se traduirait par l’émergence, sur la sphère publique, de nouvelles catégories d’acteurs sociaux et politiques ? Dans quelle mesure ces transformations s’accompagnent-elles d’une reconfiguration, à plusieurs échelles, des rapports de pouvoir ? Au lieu de s’inscrire dans une réflexion sur l’éventualité d’une « transition politique » du pays, cette perspective met l’accent sur les multiples recompositions et réajustements observables à l’échelle locale, en montrant l’ambivalence des changements que traverse aujourd’hui le Maroc. Si les trajectoires étudiées indiquent un renouvellement des élites locales et une rupture avec la distribution traditionnelle des rôles entre hommes et femmes, elles passent aussi par une reproduction, voire un renforcement, des rapports de pouvoir qui prédominaient auparavant.

Abstract

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.
