Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume is a theoretical exploration into the nature of relations between multilateral agencies on the one hand and grassroots and community based organizations in developing countries on the other. Specifically, the authors apply competing theories of world and comparative politics to explain the nature and significance by international organizations to engage and empower local civil society organizations.
