The book examines the growing importance of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly as public sector spending has declined, leaving NGOs to fill the gap in service delivery. It also tackles the complex issue of NGOs' political roles, questioning whether they truly represent the disenfranchised or whether they are simply acting as extensions of government agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key tension described in the book is whether NGOs can both reduce governments' involvement in basic services while claiming to represent the interests of marginalized communities. Jenny Pearce's introduction sets the stage for a discussion about the legitimacy of NGOs as independent political actors and how they differ, if at all, from the government agencies they rely on for funding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to those involved in NGO work, policy-making, or development studies, offering a critical examination of the current roles and responsibilities of NGOs in a changing global landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTensions and challenges within the roles of NGOs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe role of NGOs in governance, democratization, and development\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscussions on whether NGOs can represent the poor while being funded by government bodies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeborah Eade\u003c\/strong\u003e has over 20 years of experience working in the NGO sector.
