Symposium on Critical Perspectives on Nongovernmental Organizations and Action, Part 2

Symposium on Critical Perspectives on Nongovernmental Organizations and Action, Part 2 Administrative Theory & Praxis, 41: 327–330, 2019 Copyright # 2019 Public Administration Theory Network ISSN: 1084-1806 print/1949-0461 online DOI: 10.1080/10841806.2019.1659052 INTRODUCTION Symposium on Critical Perspectives on Nongovernmental Organizations and Action, Part 2 Angela M. Eikenberry University of Nebraska at Omaha Billie Sandberg Portland State University Roseanne M. Mirabella Seton Hall University This is the second issue in a two-part symposium on Critical Perspectives on Nongovernmental Organizations and Action. We define critical in a broad sense, as an attempt: … to dig beneath the surface of (often hidden) historically specific, social structures and processes—such as those related to politics, economics, culture, discourse, gender, and race—to illuminate how they lead to oppression and then to also reveal ways to change these structures. (Sandberg, Eikenberry, & Mirabella, 2019,p. 2) Each article included in the first issue of the symposium (Vol 41, Issue 3) critically assessed the nature of the narratives that define and drive nongovernmental organizations and their work in contemporary times. Several articles in this issue continue this discussion, in particular shedding light on the discourses of faith-based organizations (FBOs) and philan- thropic foundations, both of which have played increasingly dominant roles in creating social policy within a neoliberal governance environment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Administrative Theory & Praxis Taylor & Francis
