Abstract title: Relevance in the twenty-first century: the case for devolution and global association of international NGOs
Author: Alan Fowler
Issue: Volume 9, Numbers 1+2 (double issue) 1999

What does organisational decentralisation mean? What types of decentralisation can NGDOs choose from and what appears to be occurring? The author sets out answers to these questions and proceeds to analyse the pressures and forces involved in choosing, pointing towards devolution as the preferred option. The author argues that globalisation calls for a truly international response from NGOs, namely the formation of global associations.

This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development and Management.
