摘要

在全球南部，非政府组织（NGOs）面临批评；工作人员采取各种策略来缓解批评。当非政府组织工作人员对这些批评表达不同程度的认识时，会发生什么情况？工作人员是将自己视为非政府组织所服务的 "社区 "成员，还是其工作服务于社区的 "非社区 "成员，这些差异是如何形成的？这些身份如何影响非政府组织？通过对印度班加罗尔的一家大型非政府组织进行为期 18 个月的人种学研究，我发现非政府组织工作人员对自己是 "社区 "成员还是 "非社区 "成员的认同影响了他们对非政府组织、自己的工作以及非政府组织工作的看法。我将这些不同的看法追溯到使命蠕变。

‘Happy’ activists: Non-governmental organization staff navigating the social movement/service provider divide in India

In the Global South, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) face criticism; staff employ strategies to mitigate it. What happens when NGO staff express different levels of awareness about such criticism? How are these differences shaped by whether staff identify themselves as ‘community’ members the NGO serves or ‘non-community’ members whose work serves the community? How do these identities impact NGOs? Through an 18-month ethnographic study at a large NGO in Bangalore, India, I show that NGO staff members' identification as ‘community’ or ‘non-community’ members shapes their perceptions of the NGO, their work and the NGO's work. I trace these differing perceptions to mission creep.

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
