Other scholars, however, argue that this perception of negative association is the by-product of case-study methodology, which has little support when more general perspective is taken. Based on quantitative research of the third sector in Hungary (Stark, Vedres, & Bruszt, 2006) and Brazil (Koslinski & Reis, 2009), scholars demonstrate that NGOs do not have a forced choice between global and local integration; it is possible to be engaged in both types of integration. Moreover findings of both projects demonstrate that the given types of integration have positive influence on one another. Hence, globally connected NGOs are likely to be locally rooted.
