Excessive
military spending reduces the available financial reserves for health,
education, and other human needs. For poor countries, it increases poverty,
unemployment, and destitution. It also strengthens dictatorial tendencies
in politics and acts against democratic values. If we want to achieve peace,
eliminate poverty, decrease inequality, and achieve social justice, we should
devote all our energies to reducing military spending and using the released
resources for economic development. For that, we need a concerted effort to
encourage disarmament.
This new
volume provides reflections and insights from
leading public figures and activists who oppose military expenditure in any
form. Many of the contributions to this volume were presented as speeches at
the 'Disarm!
For a Climate of Peace' meeting
held in Berlin in 2016, organized by the International Peace Bureau. The volume also includes additional research-oriented chapters to complement the transcripts
from the International Peace Bureau meeting.

It is increasingly being recognised across society that the preservation of our natural environment should shape political, economic and social policies. This book delves into the partnership of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Environmental NGOs (ENGOs), their communities, and their
governmental counterparts in responding to this need.
Providing extended research on environmentalism and the NGOs’ roles in promoting environmental accountability, the chapters present a comprehensive overview of the interaction between the two themes both regionally and internationally. Topics include the accountability of Environmental NGOs
(ENGOs), impact of NGOs on environmental sustainability, NGOs and sustainable development goals, NGOs and social reporting quality, and the role of NGOs in urban and rural environmental governance. The authors present these insights within the context of developing economies, continental and global
perspectives, as well as the transformational angle. This book provides readers with a truly comprehensive snapshot of the environmental accountability of NGOs.
NGO managers in the developing world play a crucial role in reaching diverse high-risk groups. Yet to date there has been no empirical study of what makes these managers effective.
Here Farhad Analoui and Shehnaz Kazi present the first qualitative, empirical insights into this key question. Focusing specifically on managers of HIV/AIDS NGOs in India - one of the world’s largest developing nations - this book considers how such managers are perceived by outsiders, how
their work is or could be influenced by government-level intervention or international-policy-level drivers such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and how such managers perceive issues that influence their ability to manage their organisations effectively.
Through individual, collective, and focus-group interviews with managers and staff at four NGOs, the authors build a startlingly rich picture of aid workers’ and managers’ fears and hopes. From this data, the authors confirm eight parameters of effectiveness, three interrelated
contextual factors, and discover a culturally adjusted new framework for analysis of the NGO managers behaviour at work.
For its wealth of qualitative empirical data with broad-ranging implications for all developing countries, Managing NGOs in the Developing World is a must-read for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the intersections between human resource management, international development,
and sustainable development.

Although research on the value of membership of Nonprofit Organizations (NPOs) is increasing, there remain few theoretical and empirical advances in this area. Addressing this gap, this book offers a fresh perspective, exploring how NPOs’ survival is linked to the promotion, recruitment and
retention of members.
Highlighting the critical role of NPO members in creating value in the pursuit of its missions, this book demonstrates how NPOs must promote active participation and empowerment of its members to facilitate fund raising, financial administration, and the pursuit of alliances. Providing a road map
for improvement in recruiting and retention processes, the authors also showcase the development of strategies to motivate potential members and donors, and the part played by the commitment of the board in the achievement of the NPO’s social mission.
In today’s global world, this book is insightful reading for those interested in using coordinated action to navigate adverse scenarios. Written primarily for NPO managers who aim to proactively engage their members in the creation of social value, it is also a valuable resource for
researchers interested in the underlying foundations of NPO membership.
