佐藤栄作 受賞論文集

There is always a temptation to“leap-frog”the national arena and go direct toWashington or Brussels, where it is often easier to gain access to senior officials,and achieve a response. 21This is understandable, but in the long term it is aserious mistake. It increases the influence of multilateral institutions over nationaldevelopment and erodes the process of domestic coalition building that is essentialto the development of pro-poor policy reform. In addition, the constant appearance ofNGOs in international meetings, combined with the dominance of NGO voices from theNorth, reinforces the suspicion among Third-World governments that these are notgenuine global alliances but yet another example of the rich world's monopoly overglobal debates. The NGOs concerned may see themselves as defending the interestsof the poor, but it is still outsiders - not the government's own constituents - who aredeciding the agenda. Most of these attacks are self-serving, but the asymmetry ofNGO networks makes such criticisms inevitable. For example (1999 report), only 251 ofthe 1,550 NGOs associated with the UN Department of Public Information come fromthe South, and the ratio of NGOs in consultative status with ECOSOC is even lower. 22In addition, INGOs fail to understand the local dynamics of people living in ageographical area. For example, if a twelve years old boy is working in a restaurant,there may be several reasons. May be he is working to gain personal experience, orworking as a part-timer in his uncles' restaurant. Other reasons include his parentsasked to make some money for his school expense. Moreover, the boys family maynot have any other options, rather than working in a restaurant. But, INGO assumesthat this is case of child labor. On the whole, the world leaders and UN officials justget the picture of child labor rather than absolute reality.90221 Michael Edwards, Civil Society and Global Governance22 Kendig, K., Civil Society, Global Governance and the United Nations, Tokyo: United Nations University, 1999
