Section Info: Civil Society, Nongovernmental Organizations and Social Movements in a Globalized World. Increasingly, civil society organizations, such as Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs), are the go-to sector for social mobilization and empowerment efforts. This shift has become a global phenomenon. Not only do Western nations increasingly rely on this sector to assist their own residents, but they channel sizable portions of aid assistance via NGOs as well. As a result, international NGOs have emerged as powerful players for service provision and for political mobilization. This course will examine the history and theory of civil society and apply these concepts to models for the management of international organizations using case studies of international NGOs and social movements.
