Review:
Dan Brockington directs the Sheffield Institute of International Development at the University of Sheffield, UK. His research covers conservation, agricultural change, and celebrity, entailing fieldwork in remote parts of East Africa and offices in large cities.
NGOs have become hired guns of states and corporations. They also masquerade as a counter-balance to both, the medium of civil society and a fertile soil for strong democracy. This book reconsiders the boundaries of NGOs and their shifting nature in relations to capitalism, markets, governments, and each other. A must-read for the environmentalist and broader NGO-dependent world.
