Editorial Reviews

This volume offers a comprehensive coverage of subjects and topics related to the study and practice of non-governmental organizations as well as an analysis of their impact on world politics and global order. George Kaloudis makes a significant contribution to the literature on NG's not only by offering new insights, but also by bringing together various existing approaches and arguments. This book is well-written and is easily accessible and comprehensible to academic and non-academic audiences, including practitioners and policy-makers. Due to the wealth of information and the details that are provided, the book can also serve as a reference text for graduate and undergraduates courses with a focus on non-governmental organizations.”

Yannis A. Stivachtis

This is a well-researched book covering many aspects of NG's as they are located within the system of global governance. The book would thus be a valuable read for anyone interested in understanding NG's: their history, roles, functions, and effectiveness. More importantly, where they are located within the global political economic system, how they affect it, and in-turn are affected by it.
