Review The International Aid System and the Non-Governmental organizations: A new Research Agenda: Terje Tvedt

The importance of GO-NGO relation varies from country to country but as a whole it has a very significant influence over development initiatives and policy. In this article the writer predominantly urges for new way and avenue of inquiry into the study of NGOs and their activities. He insists that to go into the deep research on NGO- the process that has been used is not holistic. The traditional method has always been apprehensive with the capacity and improvement of NGOs work for the poor. Because of the lacking in proper NGO research framework the scholars and researchers have failed to thrive for identifying the reasons behind the high frequency of the growth of NGOs not only in developing countries but also in donor countries. Observing that tendency the writer has formulated some standards for the improvement of NGO research.
On the course of setting new standard the writer has navigated through the history and evolution of emergence of NGOs to the political economy of the world order. He says from the inception of NGOs the researchers tried to put this organization to multiple statuses ranging from alternative government, civil society as a third sector after state and market. The writer senses some coterie interest of political leaders of donor states, state bureaucrats, diplomats and researchers behind the promotion of NGOs as sovereign image. Having pointed that aspect he counselled for the deep study on the networks and

    NGO’S refer to non-government organisations; these organisations are here to promote sustainability, self-determination and equality on a geographical scale. NGOS are more effective because the public can either choose what to donate towards or what they think will help and they are guaranteed that their money is going towards a great cause, they sometimes hold fundraisers e.g 40 hour famine.…

    Non-governmental organization (NGO) is a term that has become widely accepted as referring to a legally constituted, non-governmental organization created by natural or legal persons with no participation or representation of any government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status and excludes government representatives from membership in the organization. Unlike the term intergovernmental organization, "non-governmental organization" is a term in general use but is not a legal definition. In many jurisdictions these types of organization are defined as "civil society organizations" or referred to by other names.…

    The civil society as identified by Khallaf (2010) comprises “non-governmental organizations (NGOs hereafter), community groups, professional associations, trade unions, media organizations, research institutes/ think tanks, and advocacy and human rights civil society organizations” (p.2). However, the current paper aims at focusing mainly on the role of NGOs in strengthening democracy. This is due to the major role NGOs play in several areas in order to enhance democracy. Among these are their role in: (1) allowing a wider range of interest groups to have a ‘voice’, pluralizing institutions to act in a ‘watchdog’ role vis-à-vis the state, networking and creating alliances of civic actors to place pressure on the state, (2) working with grassroots organizations comprised of poor and marginalized groups, and (3) exerting some pressures on the state by pressing for change and developing alternative policies (Mercer, 2002).…

    This review is of the novel As I Lay Dying written by William Faulkner. William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi and was the first born of four sons. He was born on September 25th, 1897 and died on July 6th 1962 in Byhalia, Mississippi at the age of 64. Faulkner has published many novels in his career. Reaching a variety of genres, for example, As I Lay Dying has been often referred to as a “dark comedy” compared to other novels being quite bizarre and complex. From the early 1920’s to the outbreak of World War II he has published 13 novels and numerous amounts of short stories. Faulkner was known as a very confident writer, along with a fairly experimental writing style. He specifically wrote As I Lay Dying in approximately 6 weeks and once completed he did not revise it or change one word.…

    eople create organizations to leverage their collective resources in pursuit of common goals. As organizations pursue these goals, they interact with others inside a larger context called society. Based on their purpose, organizations can be classified as for-profits, governments, or nonprofits. At a minimum, for-profits seek gain for their owners; governments exist to define the rules and structures of society within which all organizations must operate; and nonprofits (sometimes called NGOs—nongovernmental organizations) emerge to do social good when the political will or the profit motive is insufficient to address society’s needs. Aggregated across society, each of these different organizations represents a powerful mobilization of resources. In the United States, for example, more than 595,000 social workers are employed largely outside the public sector—many in the nonprofit community and medical organizations—filling needs not met by either government or the private sector.1 Society exists, therefore, as a mix of these different organizational forms. Each performs different roles, but each also depends on the others to provide the complete patchwork of exchange interactions (products and services, financial and social capital, etc.) that constitute a well-functioning society. Whether called corporations, companies, businesses, proprietorships, or firms, for example, for-profit organizations also interact with government, trade unions, suppliers, NGOs, and other groups in the communities in which they operate, in both positive and negative ways. Each of these groups or actors, therefore, can claim to have a stake in the operations of the firm. Some benefit more, some are involved more directly, and others can be harmed by the firm’s actions, but all are connected in some way to what the firm does on a day-to-day basis. R. Edward Freeman defined these actors or groups as a firm’s stakeholders. His definition reflects the broad reach…

    In order to keep the government expenditure at low level, NGOs began to flourish after the Second World War in the form of providing social services. Caritas is a prominent example. Organizations in civil society have served as agents for policy implementation for a long time. However, for policy formulation, the government is quite conservative in sharing power with civil society. Civil society is said to be very important in the implementation of democracy as civil society is a representation of diverse interests of the people.…
