ABSTRACT
Existing scholarship on transnational activism has persuasively demonstrated that global campaigns and programmes run by non-state actors can substantially alter global politics. The next step is to better understand when and how these actors – particularly international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), the organizational building blocks of transnational civil society – have this power. In this chapter, I argue that substantial diversity among INGOs – created, in part, by factors in each INGO’s home country – fragments global activists and can make some more effective than others.
