As the power and influence of nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs) in international debates on social and moral matters increases,
questions concerning their legitimacy and accountability become all the more
challenging. Some starting points are given for a defensible account of the
legitimacy and accountability of internationally operating NGOs. Special
attention is given to the use of new information and communication
technologies by NGOs and to the ways in which legitimacy and accountability
circumscribe the ways in which NGOs are structured and organized.
