Abstract

Le temps où les ONG étaient confinées dans un monde d' "amateurs" est révolu : bon nombre d'entre elles ont désormais des activités éminemment professionnelles. Cette analyse statistique montre qu'il existe, dans les pays européens, des milliers d’ONG oeuvrant pour le développement et disposant d’un budget à concurrence de 7.3 milliards de dollars. En s’appuyant sur un grand nombre de tableaux et de graphiques ainsi que sur des analyses détaillées par pays, l’auteur présente la toute première étude de ce qui est devenu un véritable phénomène de la fin du XXe et du début du XXIe siècle. Rapportés à l’ensemble des membres du Comité d’aide au développement de l’OCDE, les résultats de cette étude laissent entendre que le revenu des ONG s’élèverait au total à près de 16 milliards de dollars, soit trois fois le montant estimé par des organisations telles que la Banque mondiale. Selon les pays, les fonds publics peuvent représenter jusqu’à la moitié de ce revenu, ce qui signifie que les ONG sont devenues des partenaires incontournables des pouvoirs publics dans le domaine du développement.

Abstract

Non-governmental organizations have gained a great deal of popularity in recent years. The awarding of the Nobel Prize to The International Campaign to Ban Landmines in 1997 and to Medicins Sans Frontieres in 1999 has highlighted the emergence of these organizations as "new" forces in international politics. Yet, there is no work to date that has provided an overview of the varieties of interaction between NGOs and states, international organizations and in international politics. This is especially true of books aimed at undergraduates. NGOs in International Politics surveys a range of NGO activities and relationships in a manner accessible to students in the classroom. Despite the gap in the textbook literature, non-governmental organizations are being taught in undergraduate courses, either in theoretical terms or as components of service learning. This book is designed to remedy the gap between interest in NGOs and accessible literature for use in the classroom.

Abstract

There is already much literature on the significance of NGOs in the development process. However, there has been little discussion on why the NGOs take on different forms in different countries. This volume examines the state-NGO relationships in fifteen countries. It is not, however, a pot-pourri of country reports. All the contributors use the same analytical framework and focus on the key concept of "economic and political space" for NGOs. Readers will find that the analysis of the various NGO forms is well synthesized in this volume.
