Recenzje

Henry and Sundstrom are providing a key link in the chain in understanding the way that global governance works through transnational civil society: the work of domestic NGOs.Their research highlights the challenges faced by NGOs 'going global' by focusing on NGOs based in the BRICS—a loose association of developing states that are agitating to influence global politics in a multitude of issue areas. A must-read for students of global governance, civil society, and emerging powers.
