For a course I teach on environmental policy (not exclusively international -- it's also comparative and U.S.) I want a week on NGO groups and am looking for suggestions for readings. (Yes, I have the Betsill/Corell book and will probably be using parts of that).
I'm particularly looking for readings on the various types of roles that NGOs and activist groups can play -- from the helpful to the recalictrant -- and I'd love to find something that talks about the potentially advantages of extremist groups to change the boundaries of what might be considered acceptable. (i.e. the mainstream might not every agree that their tactics or even goals are reasonable, but by being so unreasonable they make what might have previously seemed a bit radical appear mainstream in comparison). And I always like sources that come from different perspectives, disagree with each other, etc. Anyone have sources to suggest? (I'll compile a list a report.) Thanks, Beth
