Thank you, @ninahall.bsky.social for highlighting this. There are a lot of parallels to international NGOs and the ‚multiple mandate disorder‘ although at some point (as you say) they need to engage on things that threaten their basic existence.
✨ Finally out - thanks to Maryam and Sigrid! Great pleasure to be part of this collaborative project and see the edited volume "A Relational Approach to NGOs in Global Politics: Beyond Cooperation and Competition" available open access ✨

Thank you! It’s interesting that there as been sustained progressive critiques of Harvard and other elite schools similar to those against NGOs. And Harvard is certainly more ‚elite‘ than many NGOs (and it is also much less progressive).
Good suggestions! I guess one thing to conclude for now is that NGOs with a lot of exposure to federal grants are in more immediate trouble, but long-term everyone should be questioning their traditional business models. Our book may not be able to address all of this, so I look forward to your take
@ninahall.bsky.social we aspire to shift attention away from the U.S. , but the book remains about these very large groups. And I think they are a particular target of Musk, Vance, and others. I still wonder if their „justifications“ for cutting funding etc. are really going to convince people(??).

🙌 In a new commentary we show that #business actors and #NGOs tend to trust the #UNFCCC but they see few opportunities for meaningful engagement, despite the opening up of the COPs (survey data from 2021-22 that includes marginalized populations). #polisky #climatechange rdcu.be/d8HbF
