Global-local opposition, sometimes
understood in terms of tension, calls attention of scholars in various fields
such as science (Hanafi, 2011; Keim, 2008a,b), markets and/or politics
(Fligstein, 2008; Beckfield, 2010; Maoz, 2011),
human rights (Hafner-Burton & Tsutsui, 2005), organization and personhood
(Drori & Krücken, 2009), foreign direct investment (Koskinen & Lomi,
2013). Elaborating on the work of David Stark, Balazs Vedres, and Laszlo Bruszt
(2006), we aim at tracing significance of global-local categories in the
context of a civil society and starting with a question: “How can
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) of developing countries[1]
be both locally rooted and globally connected?”, proceed with more broad
discussion around networking behavior of NGOs in the local context.
