Is it time to start an NGO section at ISA?

Hello everyone - As a follow-on to this week's International Studies Association conference, I wonder if it isn't time to create a section for NGO scholars at ISA?  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?  Problems with it? What's the process of doing this? Would it be just for INGOs or all non-state action?  It seems like we have critical mass to do this and raise the profile of our collective work in the field.  Thoughts?CristinaSee More

Conservation BINGOs and Social Justice in Madagascar

First of all, thanks for setting up this network, the idea of bringing together people who study international NGOs has huge potential. My personal engagement in this subject is quite specific - I am interested in the role of the international conservation NGOs in Madagascar, and I hope from the INGO Scholars network to learn from others about how INGOs operate in different contexts around the world.
It is well documented that BINGOs have been highly influential in the explosion…
