Pinkney, Robert.

NGOs, Africa and the global order[electronic resource] /Robert Pinkney. - Basingstoke ;Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xi, 232 p. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 218-229) and index.

Contents -- List of Boxes, Figures and Tables -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- From MassSociety to Post-Industrial Society and from Authoritarianism to Pluralism: The Context of the Rise of NGOs -- A Third Sector or a Second Preference? What is Distinctive about NGOs? -- Democracy without Votes I: The Background to NGOs in Tanzania and Uganda -- Democracy without Votes II: NGOs, Governments and the Outside World -- NGOs and the Global Order: Theory and Practice -- International NGOs:Missionaries or Imperialists? -- The Winning and the Taking Part: The Global Game of NGO Influence.

Formal democracy in Africa has done little to help the poor and under-privileged, or to protect the natural environment. Against this background, NGOs offer an alternative means of political influence. This book traces the emergence of NGOs, and looks at their distinctive qualities. It examines the impact of NGOs, both on African politics and on the world stage, where many key decisions affecting Africa are taken. Whilethe success of NGOs has been reasonable, their presence raises questions about the nature of contemporary democracy. Are self-appointed groups an adequate substitute for mass movements?
