Abstract
This book is published under the title ‘Evaluating Transnational NGOs: Legitimacy, Accountability, Representation’. On the one hand the title invites us to look at the legitimacy, accountability, and representativeness of NGOs. On the other hand it provides space to examine the role that NGOs play in holding other actors, especially the state or intergovernmental actors, accountable. NGOs do so by looking at how people and their interests are represented in decision-making and policy implementation.
