Non-Governmental Organisations and Civil Society
To join a working group you must first join BISA.
The NGO working group aims to promote the study of non-governmental organisations in world politics, including their role in domestic and transnational civil society; their involvement in processes of global governance; their effect on international policy negotiations; and questions relating to their legitimacy and accountability. We provide a forum where the implications and interconnections between such issues can be discussed, and facilitate networking and collaboration between scholars and practitioners of similar interests.
