Since their rise to prominence in the post-World War II period, NGOs have grown exponentially in size and stature. This growth has occurred most notably under the New Policy Agenda, with Western donor states emphasising the role of NGOs in democratisation and service provision. Donors have gained the power to set the development agenda and NGOs have slowly become Trojan horses for global neo-liberalism. The present review surveys the principal ways in which NGOs have become a part of the promotion of Western hegemony in the developing world and presents some ideas for change.ONG et hégémonie occidentale : raisons de s'inquiéter et idées de changementsDepuis qu'elles sont venues occuper le devant de la scène durant la période post-Seconde Guerre mondiale, les ONG ont vu leur taille et leur stature s'accroître de manière exponentielle. Cette croissance a été tout particulièrement manifeste dans le cadre du Nouvel ordre du jour de politiques générales (New Policy Agenda), les États donateurs de l'hémisphère Nord soulignant le rôle des ONG dans la démocratisation et la prestation de services. Les bailleurs de fonds ont acquis le pouvoir d'établir l'ordre du jour et les ONG se sont lentement transformées en chevaux de Troie pour le néolibéralisme mondial. Le présent bilan traite des principales façons dont les ONG sont devenues un facteur de la promotion de l'hégémonie occidentale dans les pays en développement et présente quelques idées de changements.As ONGs e a hegemonia ocidental: motivos para preocupação e ideias para mudançaDesde o crescimento de sua proeminência no período do pós-guerra II, as ONGs têm crescido exponencialmente em tamanho e importância. Este crescimento tem ocorrido mais notadamente sob a Agenda da Nova Política, com países doadores ocidentais enfatizando o papel das ONGs na democratização e provisão de serviços. Os doadores têm conquistado o poder de definir a agenda de desenvolvimento e as ONGs têm se tornado lentamente cavalos de Troia para o neoliberalismo global. Esta revisão avalia as principais maneiras pelas quais as ONGs têm participado da promoção da hegemonia ocidental no mundo em desenvolvimento e apresenta algumas ideias para mudança.ONG y hegemonía occidental: motivos de preocupación e ideas para el cambioDesde que adquirieron importancia tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el tamaño y el prestigio de las ONG han crecido vertiginosamente. El crecimiento se ha dado en gran parte en el marco de la Nueva Agenda Política, en la que los estados donantes occidentales privilegiaron a las ONG para acciones de democratización y entrega de servicios. Los donantes terminaron estableciendo los objetivos del desarrollo y las ONG se convirtieron lentamente en Caballos de Troya para el neoliberalismo global. Este ensayo analiza cómo las ONG se hicieron promotoras de la hegemonía occidental en los países en desarrollo y presenta algunas propuestas de cambio
