Long Abstract:

This panel seeks to explore various dynamics and structures, that influence the leadership of CSOs at all levels. It will focus on challenges facing CSOs contributions, current operational practices and strategies for future development.

CSOs play an increasingly important role in political, economic and social dynamics that shape daily lives across the world. With a diverse range of organisations, objectives and activities that target local, national and global issues, the CSO sector is an expansive terrain characterised by dynamic relationships between leaders, agents of action, the communities and the global challenges that drive their agenda, which span from poverty to climate emergency to injustice to inequalities.

We particularly welcome theoretical and empirical contributions developed around the following questions:

• How does CSO leadership differ from leadership in other sectors? What are its distinctive dimensions, if any?

• Which innovative/alternative forms might CSO leadership take?

• What strategies, process and material conditions encourage leadership development in CSOs?

• What are the distinctive challenges faced by CSO leaders?

• To what extent and how does CSO leadership promote equality and justice within the CSO sector?

• What are the dark sides of CSO leadership and what can be learnt from them?

This panel encourages submissions from different parts of the world to promote the cooperation between societies and communities across the world, so to advance our understanding on how CSO leadership can contribute to make societies more just and equal. This panel is organised by the NGO in Development study group.
