Greetings, friends,

I am a grad student working on a paper. I could use some help with my
thesis.

The idea is that globally governments are increasingly being pressured by
the agenda's of NGO's. Governments still make the rules, but they are
being forced into decisions, and alliances with NGO's, in order to make
decisions which affect their own internal affairs. Examples would include
the agenda of the RIO'92 Conference, the Osaka Climate Conference, and
networks formed to address global crime cartels.
I expect to see this trend continue, and increase. It seems to me that
informal, flexible NGO networks have increasingly assumed a bigger voice
over this century. The next century promises an even bigger NGO voice, and
a dramatic restructuring of global politico-economic relations.

Anyone think this line of thought is worth developing? And if so, have any
suggestions/feedback?

Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Jake Elkins
