Kevin O'Sullivan explains how and why NGOs became the primary conduits of popular concern for the global poor between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s and shows how this shaped the West's relationship with the post-colonial world. Drawing on case studies from Britain, Canada and Ireland, as well as archival material from governments and international organisations, he sheds new light on how the legacies of empire were re-packaged and re-purposed for the postcolonial era, and how a liberal definition of benevolence, rooted in charity, justice, development and rights became the dominant expression of solidarity with the Third World. In doing so, the book provides a unique insight into the social, cultural and ideological foundations of global civil society. It reveals why this period provided such fertile ground for the emergence of NGOs and offers a fresh interpretation of how individuals in the West encountered the outside world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Humanitarian assistance $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Western countries $x Relations $z Developing countries. 651 0 $a Developing countries $x Relations $z Western countries. 650 7 $a HISTORY / World. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Humanitarian assistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963553 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038524 651 7 $a Developing countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242969 651 7 $a Western countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01302083 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a O'Sullivan, Kevin, 1967- $t NGO moment $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108769556 $w (DLC) 2021035911 830 0 $a Human rights in history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017022937.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7AFC57C08FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
