Therefore, it is possible to conclude that this group of organizations will be predisposed to collaborate with one another rather than organizations that do not receive international aid. It is therefore not surprising that critics of globalizing NGOs call attention to this outcome. According to Richter, “[t]he only potential drawback to such grants is that activists may become involved so deeply in the network of women’s activists that they have less contact with women outside that network.” (Richter, 2002: 76). Given the above we formulate our second hypothesis: Globally integrated NGOs tend to collaborate more with each other rather than with other civic organizations. That is to say, we expect positive and significant homophily on the basis of global integration.
