Prerequisite: IPM 7720
Transnational civil society describes the arena of non-profit, non-governmental interaction across state boundaries. Transnational civil society organizations (CSOs) provide essential services, such as health care and disaster relief, and facilitate advocacy by lobbying governments and international institutions. This course examines CSOs’ contributions and raises critical questions about their representivity, transparency, accountability, and independence.
