Abstract
In this paper, the author will discuss two popular terms, i.e. organized civil society and global governance and their relations. The paper is mainly about organized civil society (international non-governmental organizations) and democracy in global governance. First, the author will provide a few related definitions. These terms, although are highly contested, need to be identified to avoid confusion and internal coherence. Then the author will critically discuss the relations between organized civil society and the democratizing of global governance. Finally, a conclusion about the role of organized civil society in democratizing global governance will be drawn.
Highlights
In this paper, the author will discuss two popular terms, i.e. organized civil society and global governance and their relations
In this paper, organized civil society refers to international non-governmental organizations (INGOs)
Before defining the term INGO, it is necessary to define “NGO”: “A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is not part of a government and was not founded by states.” (Wikipedia, 2009) NGOs are definitely independent of governments
Summary
Globalization has become one of the main themes of the world. there has been much contest about the term, i.e. whether it is good or harmful, or even whether it is a real phenomenon or only an analytical artifact, there is no doubt that globalization, which was originally caused by four fundamental forms of capital movement throughout the global economy (human capital, finance capital, resource capital and power capital), has entered into nearly every aspect of our life, and almost everywhere of the world.
