Zusammenfassung:	"In the first historical account of international NGOs from the French Revolution to the present, Thomas Davies places the contemporary debate on transnational civil society in context. In contrast to the conventional wisdom, which sees transnational civil society as a recent development taking place along a linear trajectory, he explores the long history of international NGOs in terms of a cyclical process characterized by three major waves: the era to 1914, the inter-war years, and the period since the Second World War." from inside front jacket cover. - By providing the first wide-ranging history of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from the late eighteenth century through to the twenty-first century, this book sheds critical new light on globalization. The book's unprecedented coverage spans business, development, educational, environmentalist, health, human rights, humanitarian, labour, peace, professional, religious, women's and youth associations, amongst many others.
