Free Event!

Free Online Event: NGO Advocacy in International Politics     Beyond the Boomerang: NGO Advocacy in International Politics Pallas and Bloodgood draw on their recently published volume to revisit and update our understanding of how NGOs conduct advocacy on international issues and why advocacy networks form. Their concept of transcalar advocacy focuses on advocacy activities and policy impacts that transcend different levels of political action. In transcalar advocacy, all NGOs–Northern and Southern–are treated as strategic actors, choosing the targets, scales of advocacy, and partnerships that best suit their capacities and goals. Drawing on examples from Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia, the authors illustrate how strategic considerations prompt NGOs to build local networks, partner with governments or businesses, use national legal systems, or conduct advocacy alone.   Click here to learn more.   Christopher L.
