JAN 29th, Talk at SIPA: From Principle to Pragmatism: The Motivational Life Cycle of Transnational Activism

Please join the Harriman Institute for a Harriman Working Papers Seminar with Tsveta Petrova, Visiting Scholar and Post-Doctoral Fellow 2011-2012, Harriman Institute). Why is it that some NGOs choose to invest in overcoming the significant costs of working transnationally? Some previous works portray these groups as normatively motivated actors, guided by solidarity with activists abroad. Others describe those NGOs as pragmatic actors, chasing funding and valuing survival over their mission. [Visit the Event Page]
