This book adopts the UN definition of NGOs: "Any international organization which is not established by inter-governmental agreement shall be considered as an NGO." The only constraints are that a NGO cannot be profit making; it cannot advocate the use of violence; it cannot be a school, a university, or a political party; and any concern with human rights must be general rather than restricted to a particular communal group, nationality, or country. This book also distinguishes between Northern NGOs (NNGOs) based in the industrial democracies and Southern NGOs (SNGOs) based in developing countries because the distinction aids clarity of meaning in some of the discussions below.
For purposes of this book, then, neither government agencies nor corporations are NGOs. The definition also excludes political parties, religious groups per se, private hospitals, and schools, which better fit the broader category of nonprofit organization. It also excludes organizations such as sports clubs and fraternal organizations because they are not concerned with economic and political development issues. Finally, the term is not as broad as non-state actor as conventionally used in international relations. The latter term includes multinational corporations (MNCs), organized crime groups, international producer cartels like OPEC, and organizations like the Palestine Liberation Organization that are not states but are not usually understood to be NGOs.
