NGOs and non-state actors
NGOization of feminism
increase in NGOs as ppl sought funding for postwar preconstruction
BiH experienced NGO movementization
more positive effects of NGOs from a feminist perspective
mainly local (not foreign) NGO groups
made up of mostly women with a wide range of feminist goals
struggle for smaller, local orgs to be included in the NGO label
desire for foreign funding
validation as a cultural agent of demoocratic tolerance
claim-bearing label
distance themselves from 'dirty politics' as nongovernmental
possibly perceived as a threat to local govs
Effects of the Daytona Peace Agreement
new BiH constitution
established decentralized political system based on consociational power-sharing mechanisms
foreign intervention agencies
shared goal- built functioning multiethnic state w a market economy and strong civil society to eventually join the EU
push for more NGOs
local NGOs bypassing local and grassroots structures to obtain funding from intervention agencies and donors
gender issues not a priority
facilitating refugee return and setting up political and financial institutions that would function in a unified state
no link between formation of women's orgs and commitment to expected foals from foreign agencies and donors
disconnect between assumed levels of motivation/activism and reality
self-proclaimed 'activist treat work more as a job than a personal cause
depoliticization of NGO work
should not be expected to be movements
no consistent work to challenge gender norms and push feminist policies- discouraged
Association of women NGOs
local women's groups
appear nonthreatening but can enact real change and provide members with a feminist education
challenges expectations of typical activism
creates dependence on state and donors
harder to stick to grassroots goals
