许多关于人权国际非政府组织的学术研究都集中在它们在跨国宣传网络中发挥的核心作用。尽管这种理论侧重于网络，但很少有经验关注HR-INGO网络的特点，或HR-INGO的网络特点是否对其宣传产出有影响。本文介绍了一个新的关系数据集681 HR-INGO网络，这篇文章发现，HR-INGO网络有点像一个公共产品，利用它的组织受益于他们的国际宣传输出。其他研究结果集中在组织的结构特征如何影响他们相互联系的倾向，以及“搭便车”如何限制组织从网络中获得的好处。
Much scholarship concerning human rights international nongovernmental organizations (HR-INGOs) focuses on the central role they play within transnational advocacy networks. Despite this theoretical focus on networks, there has been scant empirical attention on the characteristics of the HR-INGO network or on whether the network characteristics of a HR-INGO matter for its advocacy output. Introducing a new relational dataset on 681 HR-INGOs, this article finds that the HR-INGO network is somewhat like a public good and that the organizations who utilize it benefit in terms of their international advocacy output. Other findings focus on how the structural characteristics of organizations can influence their propensity to connect to each other and how ‘free-riding’ can limit the benefits organizations receive from the network.
