Abstract

This book combines empirical insights into NGO's work in agriculture with wider considerations of their relations with the state and their contribution to democratic pluralism, contextualizing and synthesizing the case study material in previous volumes on Africa, Asia and Latin America. The chapters discuss: definitions, concepts and some reasons for the recent interest in NGOs; concepts for analysing NGO-state relationships; technologies, management practices and research methods in NGOs' work with agricultural change; relations between NGOs and the rural poor; and between them and the state. A final chapter uses the conclusions drawn from over 70 case studies to suggest where NGOs go from here in their relations with the poor, the state, donors and others. -M.Amos
