Table of ContentsReviews'This is a timely book and splendid contribution to the current debates about the future role of NGOs. It exposes some of the brutal truths of running an NGO, pointing out the mismatch between their non-profit purposes and their daily corporate style management. It also stresses that there is a strong need for an honest dialogue about what NGOs are trying to achieve and how they go about doing that, because this is essential for securing a long term trust in the sector. The author demonstrates clearly that the current relationship NGOs have with the wider public is an outdated one and needs rehabilitation if it is to survive in a new and changed world.' - Erla Thrandardottir, Visiting Research Fellow, City University London, UK 'This is a timely book and splendid contribution to the current debates about the future role of NGOs.
