As Organizações não governamentais como atores das relações internacionais: um estudo de caso da Care

Abstract

This work is developed through the study of Non-Governmental Organizations and their integration in the area of international relations, in order to analyze the study of the importance and role of NGOs in this area by exploring the case of a Non- Governmental Organization. The first part consists of a brief history of the concepts of Third Sector and global civil society, also tracing the trajectory of NGOs and exposing the facts that led to the propagation of these entities, which happened mainly in the context of post-World War II, followed by the definition of the term Non Governmental Organization and their roles as an actor in international relations, especially within the Theory of Complex Interdependence. Finally, the work ends with a case study of CARE, exposing its inception, mission and values as well as their developed projects and their impacts on the society, and how the organization is related to international relations, particularly with political influence in the countries that they operate.
