The role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international politics has changed significantly in the two decades since the first edition of this book was published. This new edition explores that role, including new chapters and updated data—and using examples such as the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, earthquake relief in Syria and Turkey, refugee crises in Mexico and Uganda, current lobbying efforts in the US and UN, and much more—to highlight the current relevance of the topic. In sum, NGOs in International Politics surveys the full spectrum of NGO actors, activities, and relationships in a manner that is both accessible and comprehensive.
