Dear Sofie et al.,

 

In addition to Cristina's recommendation of the Michael Gunter book, which I
heartily endorse, let me also recommend a book on the history of the World
Conservation Union (IUCN):  Martin Holdgate, The Green Web: A Union for
World Conservation (Earthscan, 1999).  Among other things, Holdgate
discusses the considerations that went into re-locating IUCN from Brussels
first to Morges and then to Gland, in Switzerland.  During their history,
IUCN and WWF have found it useful to co-locate.

 

Perhaps from your perspective this will seem to be ancient history.  If not,
you may also want to glance at Max Nicholson, The Environmental Revolution:
A Guide for the New Masters of the World (McGraw Hill, 1970), which also
touches on the move from Brussels to Morges.

 

Geoffrey.

Activists Beyond Borders by Margaret Keck would be a good starting point.

Dear colleagues,

 

Within the framework of my PhD research, I am looking for some useful texts

on the major environmental NGOs (such as Greenpeace, WWF, .). More

concretely, I was wondering whether anyone can recommend some literature on

location strategies of these environmental NGOs? This is a rather specific

topic, so texts may also refer to broader themes such as lobbying

activities, ... as long as there is a link with location strategies (office

network).

 

Thank you and kind regards

Dear Sofie, (and colleagues from GEP-ED)

Could you please clarify the question a bit more? That is, are you asking for 
references on where do NGOs choose to locate their offices? If so, that sounds 
to me as a very different and specific request (that I don't even know if 
anybody has looked at that, to be quite frank) to broad texts on NGOs. The 
literature on this area is quite large. 

Cheers,
Raul
