ABSTRACT

A key research question this paper raises is why states seek cooperation with international NGOs as major actors of global civil society. In other words, the question refers to what conditions or factors produce such cooperation. The purpose of this study is to develop and present a tentative model through which to comprehensively explain cooperation between states and international NGOs on the basis of exploring factors yielding such cooperation. In the model developed and presented in the study, the process of international security governance is divided into four stages, and pulling factors are identified to explain why national governments cooperate with international NGOs in each stage of governance. The study also identifies pushing factors to account for why international NGOs demand to take part in the governance process. In addition, it explores intermediate factors affecting the development of such cooperation. To develop such a model is an attempt to comprehensively explain cooperation between states and international NGOs by focusing on their respective interests and incentives.
