Non-governmental organizations are increasingly recognized as a powerful "third sector" of world society. The editors (all affiliated with the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations) present 46 papers that examine the role of this sector in promoting a variety of agendas, particularly focusing on issues of ethics and responsibility. Contributions come from a range of perspectives, with contributors coming from such diverse state, corporate, and non-profit organizations as Amnesty International, the U.S. Department of State, United Press International, and the Heritage Foundation, as well as academic institutions.
