Religious Voices in the Politics of International Development
Encouraging Active Citizen Voices on International Policy? The Record of U.S. Faith-based NGOs
How do faith-based NGOs educate and mobilize their US constituencies, beyond appealing for donations? I examine ten diverse faith-based NGOs’ presentation of advocacy on their websites, along with budget and staffing data, finding great variation in the extent of advocacy and its prominence and urgency in agencies’ websites. Some of the most extensive mobilization is done by small Christian sects with historic commitment to social justice, non-Ch…
Citizens, consumers, workers, and activists
Water privatization battles and their aftermath in seven Latin American, African, and Asian countries feature diverse and often complementary forms of action by unions, popular movements, neighbourhood associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). NGOs cooperate with popular movements for water rights more than the literature would suggest, and after mobilizations against privatization, activists have had some success maintaining press…

New Rights Advocacy in a Global Public Domain
Social and economic policy decisions are increasingly being taken in a global public domain in which national/transnational boundaries are blurred, and the `public' domain includes non-state actors. We argue that a new rights advocacy, advancing economic and social human rights as well as civil and political, is essential to understanding rule-making in the global public domain. New rights advocacy involves traditional human rights and developmen…
At the Nexus of Human Rights and Development
New Agendas and New Patterns of International NGO Political Action
International advocacy strategies devised for the political environment in which World Bank policy is decided are often not suitable for advocacy on broader financial policy and trade issues. Advocacy in these “new” agendas challenges prevailing models, which depict NGOs as mobilizing powerful governments and international organizations to influence a government’s behavior. The patterns of international NGO political activity are diverse, sometim…
Transparency Mechanisms at the Multilateral Development Banks
Whose Civil Society? Whose Governance? Decisionmaking and Practice in the New Agenda at the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank
Governance and civil society are relatively new themes in the discourse of the multilateral development banks (MDBs). As objectives of MDB policy and lending, good governance or modernization of the state and civil society involves a common core of issues for the MDBs: transparency, accountability, effective public sector management, and public participation in making and implementing policy. But governance has a second meaning in the context of …
Heroism and ambiguity
NGO advocacy is sometimes portrayed in a heroic light, but efforts to influence World Bank-supported economic policies confront considerable ambiguity. Influence is difficult to demonstrate, but advocacy should be more rigorously assessed in the interest of transparency and effectiveness. Two (partial) solutions to this ambiguity are to focus on the process of NGO campaigns themselves; and to monitor impact on component parts of a model of instit…
Deliberation, Leverage or Coercion
NGOs' influence over environmental policy in World Bank lending has involved successful application of international leverage to win compliance by borrowing governments. Decision-making at the World Bank on controversial environmental policy issues shows little evidence of growing consensus, communicative competence or widely shared values among the Bank's donor and borrower countries. Neither the World Bank's structure and mandate nor the NGO's …
