NonGovernmental Politics: Governance and Policies in Nongovernmental Organizations

This chapter discusses the issues of “governance” in non-governmental organizations. This can mean a variety of things, but predominantly how the organization is run. Frequently, these organizations are directed laterally, and numerous people with experience who are active in the organization direct its engagements on a case-by-case basis. The article deals with issues of transparency and the idea of executive governance; this is the use of full-time directors and organizers to enable the organization function more smoothly. The article discusses possible conflicts in the choices of having unrelated or fully involved people direct the organization. The article finally discusses the possibility of using a celebrity personality to raise awareness for the organization, depending on its needs.
