The New Pythian Voices: Women Building Capital in NGO's in the Middle East (Issues Inglobalization)

Over the past 10-15 years, there has been a flowering of politically-motivated women's non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Israel. This study examines three aspects relating to this new NGO sphere: the reason for growth of NGOs, the kind of learning that occurs in these 'new' political spaces and the political and social implications of women's NGOs. This study contributes meaningful data to literature on civil society and democratisation, discussing in particular the relationship between political institutions and NGOs.
