Αλλάζοντας τους όρους. Η συμβολή των μη κυβερνητικών οργανώσεων στην παγκόσμια οικονομία

Abstract

The place and function of NGOs in international relations is ambiguous. It remains difficult and delicate, despite the fact that they play a salient and indispensable role. This is due to the prevailing idea that global politics is a practice associated solely with states. Foreign policy, however, once the exclusive prerogative of the nation-state, is violated daily by developments in non-state actions arising from transnational political, economic, social and ecological issues. The participation of NGOs in international relations politics restructures the way global governance is organized and especially in respect to who has or the right of participation in it.
