Abstract(s)

CSOs might not be automatic mechanisms for democratisation and poverty alleviation; under certain contextual factors they might contribute to the survival of authoritarianism and neo-patrimonialism at the level of poor communities. This research intends to address two main questions: 1) what contextual factors condition the adoption and implementation of CSOs strategies?; 2) What is the impact of each strategy on communities, in favour of democratisation and poverty alleviation, or unintentionally supportive of authoritarianism (Stenner 2005) and neo-patrimonialism (Médard 1991, Bayart 1989, Chabal 1999, Vidal 2003).
