Özet:

In a globalizing world, foreign/international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) work in satisfying various societal needs along with the domestic national NGOs. This cooperation is not welcomed by all circles in the host countries. The activities of these organizations are seen with suspicion. Furthermore, the domestic NGOs that are associating with the foreing/international NGOs are seen by the same circles as compradors and sometimes even labeled as “traitors.” In the face of such allegations, the purpose of this study is to examine a literature that has a neutral attitude towards the relationships that take place in civil society between the foreign and domestic NGOs. This, in turn, may lessen the suspicion in some circles towards foreign NGOs and domestic NGOs that are cooperating with them. Finally, this article aims at suggesting some research questions based on this literature for the researchers in Turkey.
