Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are increasingly incorporated into the structures of global governance, which are greatly shaped by the activities of regional and international intergovernmental organisations (IGOs). 1 Most sig-ni cantly NGOs are involved in the processes and performances of the dominant global institution, the United Nations (UN). NGOs regularly collaborate with the United Nations and advise UN Commissions; they also work together with UN agencies on an ad hoc basis and implement UN projects; they even assist UN institutions and provide information on particular issues. Especially important, NGOs participated in the series of UN-organised world conferences in the 1990s, where they contributed to the drafting of conventions, sat in governmental delegations, and organised their own forums. Because of these intense interactions, the United Nations serves as the ``transparent point of observation'' 2 to explore the position of NGOs as actors in international politics
