I.
Course Objectives and Scope
The global community is witnessing the growing impact of non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) in local, national, regional, and international spheres. In the post-cold war period,
what Lester Salamon calls the “associational revolution” can be observed around the world.
New types of problems and issues are emerging that traditional nation-states can no longer
cope with and thus the role of NGOs is increasingly important. NGOs have been involved in
the provision of such public goods and services as citizens’ rights, anti-corruption,
sovereignty, environment, gender, human rights, public health, human relief, grassroots
development, migration, and consumer protection. In their involvement, NGOs actively raise
new issues and values into the public domain, shape the public perception of what its
interests are and mobilize activities to pursue those interests. It is also evident that NGOs
and INGOs have been increasingly active in the international arena. Such non-state
initiatives in the international arena have been rapidly recognized by international
organizations as well as national governments, and the role of NGOs and INGOs together
with the state and international organizations is becoming an indispensable element in
shaping global governance.
The course is designed to review the formation and development of civil society, and its
manifested actor – NGOs in historical and comparative perspectives. It will address the
questions of how NGOs are established and function outside the state, how voluntarism can
be nurtured, and whether civil society is a universal or desirable feature of social life. The
course is also designed to examine the origin, size, scope, and dimensions of civil society,
the NGO sector, and INGOs in South Korea as well as in China, Japan, and Taiwan for
comparative purpose.
The course will examine various theories on civil society and NGOs including the issues of
conceptualization and measurement and further explores the state-society relationships in a
variety of regimes and over time periods. It will also focus on ways in which policies affect
the existence and contribution of NGOs that stand between the individual and the state;
how NGOs shape the policy agenda of a regime. More specifically, it addresses the questions
of how NGOs affect public policy, how public policy affects the NGO sector, and what the
consequences for society as a whole are.
1
The course will also discuss the concept of global governance and examine some of the
central features of contemporary global governance including the role of the state and of
international organizations and the emergence of global civil society. In relation to the issue
of global governance, the class will focus on key issues and trends in the areas of migration,
human rights and refugees, and environment in collaboration with other institutions and
networks. The objective of the course is to help students develop and deepen an
understanding of the followings: the concept and nature of civil society, NGOs, globalization,
and global governance; the historical and comparative perspectives of civil society, NGOs,
and governance; how patterns of governance have changed and are changing in an era of
globalization. In order to answer the above, you need to think critically, rigorously, and
theoretically; locate and synthesize needed information from a wide range of resources.
II. Course Requirements and Grading
This class will be run as a seminar so that you are expected to do the required reading
before the class in which we will be discussing it.
Each student will be required to complete two short papers: the first one is a short (10
typed pages with double-space) case analysis of a NGO in a particular country of the East
Asian region (Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan). You need to select at least one national
representative NGO and address the following basic issues: historical origin, major
campaigns or activities, alliance networks, institution building, policy proposals and impact,
societal influence, and so on. The other one is an analysis of a chosen topic (for example,
migration, human rights, environment, human relief, public health) listed in the syllabus.
Your topic analysis paper should also be typed in less than 10 pages. You are required to
address how civil society, NGOs, INGOs, and the state interact to govern the chosen issue.
The instructor must approve topics and will also suggest some possibilities, as well as help
indentifying sources of information. Students with special interests on topics, countries, or
cultures that are not covered on the list, or who wish to delve more fully into any of the
topics covered in the list should consult with me.
There are four major requirements for the course, each of which will contribute to the
overall course grade in the proportions indicated: Class attendance and participation (5
percent), class presentation (10 percent), one or two review papers (10 percent), case
paper and theme-based topic paper (40 percents), and final examinations (35 percents).
In this semester, you need to have the following class presentations: review paper, case
study, and topic analysis.
Review Papers
You are required to write one or two brief (from five to seven pages) review papers on the
readings each week. The group of three to five students will be expected to prepare a short
(five to seven pages) review paper on weekly assigned readings. Each group is required to
give a 20 minute class presentation and then lead a 20-30 minute class discussion. The
number of review paper presentation will be determined according to the class enrollment
size.
2
These papers should include a few paragraph statements of what you believe are the key
argument(s) of each article followed by a reaction to the main point. Review can be
comments in agreement, critiques, disagreements with the main points, and / or questions
that come to mind as you read. Review papers will not be graded, but they count towards
your final grade. Writing review that reflects your thoughts about the course material is one
of the most valuable learning tools in this course. It will help you integrate readings, lectures,
discussions and project assignments and prepare you for active class participation.
Review papers should address the following questions:
What is the main point and argument of the article or chapter?
What are the underlying assumptions?
What evidence is provided to support the argument?
What are the implications of the argument?
What are some possible counter-arguments?
Case Study/ Topic Analysis Presentation and Class Discussion
In the third week of the semester, each student will choose the topic and subsequent case
study. Students are required to give a 30 minute in-class group presentation and then lead a
20-30 minute class discussion. The goal of the discussion is to examine how the topic relates
to and illustrates key course themes and readings. For class presentation on your case study,
you need to select one extra reading (preferably a case study). Reading should be given out
one week in advance to facilitate discussion. Four or five questions should also be prepared
in advance that will guide the discussion. Submit your case and topic no later than Week 3.
Presentation dates will be arranged according to how topics fit with the weekly sessions.
Class Participation
The course requires active participation in discussions and critical reflection and assessment
of the course material. While quantity matters, participation grades ultimately will be based
on the quality of your participation. Therefore, you should be prepared to discuss the main
points of the readings, ask questions, provide constructive feedback, and generate and
share critical perspectives. There is an additional requirement that will be factored into your
participation grade. Some weeks you will be assigned specific articles to read.
You must participate actively and constructively in class discussions. This means not only
attending class, but also demonstrating that you have read the assigned material prior to
the class and that you are able to reflect on them constructively.
Required Reference
Most, if not all, of the articles can be found through the electronic resources such as JSTOR
of the Yonsei University library. They have already been uploaded onto YSCEC. All the other
reading are compiled as a reading package available at the Copy Center. The following
required references are being hold at the GSIS library.

NGO Accountability
In the past decade, NGOs have come under heavy criticism, with claims that they often lack
the legitimacy and transparency that they are known to loudly demand from governments
and the private sector. This section addresses key theoretical questions of NGO
accountability, including the sources from which NGO’s legitimacy is drawn and determined,
and the range of legal and regulatory frameworks currently in place domestically, regionally,
and internationally.
