This course will explore the world of Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) by reviewing the types of, and institutional issues related to, NGOs. Specifically, the course will review the activities and roles of NGOs as subcontractors, educators, technical assistance providers, humanitarian aid providers, and specifically as policy advocates. It will also examine the role of NGOs in civil society, their impact to influence policies and how INGOs are shaped by world politics, states, and economic forces. Starting with the history and the development of humanitarian aid and their principles, students will get an overview of the nature and variety of NGOs. How does the civil society, uprising and organizing themselves in NGOs, face and address global problems? What are their policies, challenges and constraints on their way to meet these aims, what is the reality of the NGOs role, interacting with other stakeholders and institutions and how effectively they are performing their role in the development of societies.
