University of Virginia Professor Jennifer Rubenstein offers an introduction to her recent seminar at the Ash Institute for Democratic Governance and Innovation, Harvard Kennedy School. She discusses how advocacy campaigns by international anti-poverty non-governmental organizations should be conceptualized and normatively evaluated. She argues that holding INGOs to justice-based standards is not only more just but also more democratic than holding them to representation-based standards, tracing this counterintuitive result to INGOs status as second-best actors operating in highly non-ideal circumstances.
