Tensões e dinâmicas Norte-Sul da Sociedade Civil Global: ActionAid Internacional, Anistia Internacional e Greenpeace Internacional

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the performance of three organizations of global civil society ActionAid, Greenpeace and Amnesty International - in dialogue with the literature on North-South relations and global civil society, it analyses if and how the North-South conflicts have influenced the identity, internal structure, geographic expansion, financing, accountability, strategies of action and political positioning of these organizations. Focusing on the practice of these organizations in the context of globalization, the thesis studies how global civil society participates in the reproduction of the North-South power structures (economic, social and political), even without always being aware of these structures and often identify themselves as opposing the hegemony of these structures. The methodologies used in conducting the research were: literature review, historical-documentary research and empirical research through interviews with presidents of the councils and executive officers of the organizations studied.
