This insightful book provides important new perspectives on the strategic thinking of NGOs, the way they identify themselves, and how they behave. Raymond L. Bryant develops a novel theoretical perspective around the concept of moral capital and assesses that concept through in-depth case studies of NGOs in the Philippines.The book's focus is on perceptions of NGOs as moral and altruistic and how such perceptions can translate into social power. Bryant examines the ambiguous qualities of NGO strategizing, the ways in which the quest for moral capital is bedeviled by the need to compromise with political and economic elites, and the possibilities for NGOs to achieve political goals as moral leaders. 410 0$aYale agrarian studies. 606 $aPolitical ecology$zPhilippines 606 $aNon-governmental organizations$zPhilippines 606 $aBusiness ethics$zPhilippines 615 0$aPolitical ecology 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations 615 0$aBusiness ethics 676 $a304.2/09599 686 $aPR 2421$2rvk 700 $aBryant$b Raymond L.$f1961-$01084331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777776703321 996 $aNongovernmental organizations in environmental struggles$93803334 997 $aUNINA
