The Authority Trap
2017,2018
Overview
Not all international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) are
created equal, Some have emerged as \"leading INGOs\" that command
deference from various powerful audiences and are well-positioned
to influence the practices of states, corporations, and other
INGOs. Yet Sarah S. Stroup and Wendy H. Wong make a strong case for
the tenuous nature of this position: in order to retain their
authority, INGOs such as Greenpeace, Oxfam, and Amnesty
International refrain from expressing radical opinions that
severely damage their long-term reputation. Stroup and Wong contend
such INGOs must constantly adjust their behavior to maintain a
delicate equilibrium that preserves their status.
Activists, scholars, and students seeking to understand how
international organizations garner and conserve power-and how this
affects their ability to fulfill their stated missions-will find
much of value in The Authority Trap . The authors use case
studies that illuminate how INGOs are received by three main
audiences: NGO peers, state policymakers, and corporations. In the
end, the authors argue, the more authority an INGO has, the more
constrained is its ability to affect the conduct of world
politics.
