Transnationalization of NGOs in the field of housing development

随着全球范围内公民社会制度的兴起，非政府组织的社会政治定位发生了变化。本研究在对国际人居组织（Habitat for Humanity International）的研究基础上，探讨了非政府组织跨国战略的基本原理，特别是在亚太地区。为了提高其发展活动的效率和效力，该计划自2000年代中期以来采用了新的集中结构。这种转变可以解释为HFHI试图提高其可持续性和可行性。研究结果表明，在全球化时代，非政府组织在传统的社会运动组织角色之外，正在努力实现其作为一个实体的持续成长。

Socio-political positioning of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has been changed amid the rise of a civil society regime on a global scale. Based on the research on the Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), this study investigates the rationales of NGOs' transnationalization strategies particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. With an aim to increase efficiency and effectiveness of its development activities, the HFHI has introduced a renewed centralized structure since the mid-2000's. This shift can be explained by the HFHI's attempt to improve its sustainability and viability. Outcomes of this study indicate that, apart from their traditional roles as a social movement organization, NGOs in this contemporary globalized era are striving to realize their continued growth as an entity.
