No / Gender based legislation in Taiwan and government expressed importance of gender equality are very forward thinking. Gender mainstreaming has provided the framework for the increased emphasis on gender equality which has happened along side an explosion of third sector organizations, those funded privately and by the government, and a new understanding of what the accountability of these organizations entails. Four government funded organizations, or “quango” were examined to determine the degree of their accountability to gender mainstreaming policy using these new criteria, and the degree of penetration of the gender mainstreaming efforts. The organizations were found to be lacking in methods to ensure accountability and devoid of gender sensitivity in their project areas.

This thesis studies a by-product of the continuing and complex Arab-Israeli conflict: the Palestinian refugee diaspora in Lebanon, and the efforts of Western charitable organizations with this population. The rise of the non-governmental organization (NGO) movement embroiled the Western world in the Middle East as a new form of intervention, with the aim of providing emergency relief in the short term and plans for development in the long term. This research studies how Palestinians came to live in their host countries with the help of NGOs, and to determine what the challenges and successes of these organizations were. For this study, the American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA) organization is used as a case study by looking at its history of interaction with Palestinians between the War of 1967 and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, a decade and a half marked by war and exodus. Using ANERA’s annual reports, newsletters, board meeting reports, and interviews with individual Palestinians who were raised in Lebanon, the research looks at the history and ethical complications of the international NGO movement. Furthermore, this thesis analyses the logistical challenges and achievements of ANERA in their programming in Lebanon and the way that Palestinians were portrayed by ANERA back to their American public. Finally, the Palestinian perspective is taken into account to understand the impact of Western NGOs on their own community. Ultimately, this study seeks to determine how what has been ANERA’s historical experience with Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.

Non-governmental organizations play an increasingly important role in society today. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics, difficulties, and possibilities for NGOs working with social welfare in China. This paper presents data by using qualitative method and analyzes it with the social ecological perspective. The results of this study show that top-down NGOs like the one studied in this paper are experimental organizations which are established according to China's social environment in order to undertake the welfare services ordered by the government. In this way the government legalizes the working of NGOs. However, the result is that, on the one hand, NGOs help government to promote the quality of public services, and on the other, relying on the government becames an obstruction of NGOs development.

Abstract Employing the theories of new liberalism as the analytic structure, this research paper takes the trend and changes of foreign aid during the post-cold-war period as a reference for the foreign aid policy of Taiwan. Since the government initiated Southward Policy in 1994, and signed many related investment and trade protection agreements with Indonesia, there are positive effects to the economic and trading exchange and investments between Taiwan and Indonesia. Although Indonesia has been taking the standpoint of ¡§Politically Inclining to China, Economically Inclining to Taipei,¡¨ ever since Taiwan provided aid to Indonesia, the respects to the institutions of Taiwan functioning in Indonesia have been obviously promoted. In order to meet the investments needs of Taiwanese businessmen and attract more Taiwanese businessmen to invest in the nation, Indonesia opens the import of the Chinese books and allows the building of schools exclusively for the children of Taiwanese businessmen. In future the practical diplomacy policy of Taiwan towards Indonesia should implement mutual-beneficial and mutual-trust aiding measures. The industries being beneficial to both parties should be selected. There should be policies to give guidelines to the abundant economic resources in the private sectors of Taiwan. The government should assist Indonesia to establish excellent production environment for small business so as to build up multiple cooperation channels between Taiwan and Indonesia. Besides, Taiwan government should also combine with the power of private sectors and organizations, giving aid and cooperation in a way of ¡§downward development from the top,¡¨ and strengthening the expansion of relationship with the Indonesian people and community. Once the foundation is established, spots must be gradually expanded to planes, and the political diplomatic relationship between Taiwan and Indonesia must be enhanced.

This thesis examines the complexities in the resettlement of Bhutanese refugees. Using anthropological ethnographic field methods, this thesis explores the power dynamics between the employees of a resettlement organization and the refugees and the intricate webs of power within different institutions, such as local NGOs and healthcare institutions. The study argues that humanitarian actions and interventions are often driven by bureaucratic politics and policies that contradict what humanitarianism stands for as apolitical and value-neutral. These contradictions or paradoxes in humanitarianism also are also present in refugee resettlement. Analyzing these paradoxes that characterize resettlement, this thesis illuminates structural discontinuities or gaps that result from differences in expectations between the refugees and the employees of resettlement organization. Drawing on analyses of the paradoxes and complexities in resettlement, the study concludes that bureaucratic management of refugees reinforces social inequalities and hierarchies of power that masks state’s responsibility towards both the refugees and local NGOs making resettlement an unsettling process.

Para tanto, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa-intervenção fundamentada nos conceitos de sujeito, relações de poder-saber e discurso, elaborados por Michel Foucault e enriquecidos por estudiosos que dialogam com suas teorizações. No processo de construção coletiva do conhecimento, utilizou-se como proposta metodológica a cartografia. Assim, a pesquisa se orientou através de pistas investigativas, que auxiliaram na problematização dos discursos da instituição em estudo e os efeitos dos mesmos nos modos de ser, pensar e agir dos “meninos do Projeto”. Estes constituíram um grupo de pesquisa formado por quinze (15) adolescentes, na faixa etária entre catorze (14) e dezesseis (16) anos, que participavam de atividades educativas e culturais desenvolvidas por um projeto social de uma ONG, localizada no bairro Pirambu, periferia de Fortaleza/CE. Optou-se por uma análise de discurso foucaultiana a partir da noção de dispersão do sujeito e seus posicionamentos nos discursos. Como síntese das análises foram observadas disputas de sentido. Nos discursos institucionais, o adolescente pobre adquire a posição de sujeito normalizado, disciplinado, assujeitado ao culto do empreendedorismo, expressado pela ideia do protagonismo e a ser inserido no mercado de trabalho, com o intuito de prevenir a criminalidade. Discursos aos quais os jovens resistiram através de críticas e denúncias quanto à negação de seus modos de ser e estar no mundo.

Non-profit organizations are an integral part of the Czech economy and important partner for the government. In today's economic environment, NGOs face increasing competition not only from other similar institutions, but also from for-profit oriented companies. They are, therefore, forced to adopt entrepreneurial marketing techniques in order to succeed in the market. The aim of this Master Thesis is to analyze the non-governmental, non-profit organization INEX-SDA including its marketing strategies, to interpret the results based on marketing theory and to suggest possible improvements that could lead to better public awareness of the chosen organization.
