Preface
Much has been written about how the era of globalization is impacting on the
worlds of business, economics and politics. Many in civil society have sought to
challenge or reform the management of global change, and a variety of social
movements and campaigns has come together to form a global protest movement
that is storming the institutions and principles of global governance. But little has
been written about how the technological and political opportunities of globaliza-
tion affect civil society itself – hence the motivation for this book.
It is clear that a wide array of civil society organizations – ranging from environ-
mental pressure groups and development charities to trade unions and churches –
are increasingly emphasizing international advocacy work and networking with
others. The benefits and the opportunities are clear; but there are many obstacles,
challenges and dilemmas along the path. In particular, there are issues of organiza-
tional structure and governance that crop up frequently, and challenges regarding
the culture and focus of networks as their memberships diversify. Moreover, new
communications technology is allowing new ways of working and new organiza-
tional forms to arise – in particular, the web-based campaigns (or ‘dot causes’).
Just as the ‘network age’ is transforming management theory in the private sector,
so, too, it creates imperatives in civil society to work in different ways and with
non-traditional partnerships.
This book surveys these issues. It is the result of a research project of the
Centre for Civil Society at the London School of Economics and Political Science
(LSE). The project started with a review of the issues through discussion with
leaders of a wide range of civil society organizations and consultation of the liter-
ature (published and internal) on those organizations’ strategic thinking. We next
held an international seminar at LSE bringing together practitioners from different
types of organization – North and South – and academics studying civil society.
This provided new insights, as well as better ideas as to where knowledge gaps lie.
Chapter 1 covers this preparatory stage. We then undertook a series of case studies,
investigating the experience of a number of transnational civil society endeavours
(Chapters 2 to 8). These studies used the same approach as the initial review and
probed the issues that it had brought to the surface. The final chapter summarizes
the projects’ main findings and offers some conclusions that are intended to be
of use to civil society practitioners, policy-makers and academics.
This project has been made possible by a generous grant from the Ford
Foundation, to whom go our sincere thanks. We also thank Helmut Anheier,
David Lewis, Lisa Carlson, Jane Schiemann and other staff at the Centre for
viii Globalizing Civic Engagement
Civil Society for their help and valuable suggestions, and we thank LSE itself for
being an accommodating host for this project. Thanks, also, go to many practi-
tioners and scholars who have contributed their valuable ideas and experience,
especially: Dave Brown, Ernst Ligteringen, Julie Fisher, John Foster, Petr Hlobil,
Lisa Jordan, Richard Langhorne, Alan Leather, Jan Aart Scholte, Salil Shetty,
David Stark, Rajesh Tandon, Sid Tarrow, Aurelio Vianna and Dennis Young. We
would also like to thank the participants at the LSE seminar of June 2001 for
their treasure chest of ideas, which we have ruthlessly plundered, and the many
people who generously gave their time to be interviewed or to give advice.
Finally, we would like to thank Jonathan Sinclair Wilson and his colleagues at
Earthscan – both for having faith in this project and for being flexible with slip-
ping deadlines for delivery of the final manuscript.
