Abstract:

The importance of governance is frequently emphasized in the understanding of neoliberal development, which has been altered by the effect of the New Institutional School of Economics. The concept of governance, which has found itself more and more in the literature of development after the Post Washington agreement, means that the state, market and civil society act in harmony. Civil society, one of the three pillars on which the concept of governance is based, constitutes the focus of this study. The aim of the study is to analyze civil society in an economic context and to evaluate its role especially in terms of development. Accordingly, the contribution of the study to the literature is to look at the relationship between civil society and development from the perspective of the New Institutional School of Economics and to reveal changes in the representational powers and behaviors in strategy development of NGOs, which are considered as development institutions.
