'NGOs and Civil Society focuses on the roles of Southern
non-governmental development organizations (NGOs) in strengthening
civil societies, especially organizations and institutions that
support the very poor. Hudock has made some important points,
articulated some provocative ideas, and described some valuable
examples ... it will generate useful debate.' David Brown,
Institute for Development Research, Boston
'The book raises questions about relationships among NGOs, and
provides a conceptual framework for understanding interdependence
among NGOs. It also suggests how changing these relationships can
increase the capacity of NGOs in developing countries.'
Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly
'Much has been written about civil society, democracy and the
role of NGOs in resolving ethnic conflicts, but few books have
explored the links between them. This short volume is a first
attempt to redress the balance.' The Ethnic Conflict Research
Digest
'The book helps bridge a gap in NGO literature whilst providing a good balance between theory and case study. The book should be useful to all interested in the role of NGOs within development. It is compact and concise and written to target a varied audience. In short, the book is a useful general introducion.' Progress in Development Studies
