Based on a unique insiders perspective, Going Global is the first book-length comprehensive study of the largest of the Northern-based international relief and development NGOs. Marc Lindenberg and Coralie Bryant examine how organizations are responding to the transformative changes globalization demands, how infrastructures are being organized on a worldwide basis, and the challenges of accountability, evaluation and organizational learning. Also discussed are the growing significance of complex emergencies, peacebuilding and advocacy work, as these new contexts grow in importance compared with traditional development project work. Constructed from extensive international fieldwork, and unique and candid group discussions of NGO presidents and CEOs, GOING GLOBAL will be invaluable to anyone studying non-profit management issues in general, as well as the specific challenges faced by relief and development organizations.
