Civil society organizations influence international policymaking
How are civil society organizations (CSOs) helping overcome global challenges and democratizing international institutions? How can their contributions be more effective? A new report by the Bertelsmann Stiftung addresses these issues.

No longer is global governance limited to inter-governmental cooperation, multilateral agreements and international organizations. In the twenty-first century, non-state actors are increasingly taking a role in formulating policy. In particular, CSOs have become global players: Non-governmental-organizations (NGOs) and philanthropic foundations are already an integral part of global governance, and their influence is likely to grow in the future.
