Ana Luisa Silva/CEsA publishes a chapter on NGOs and Innovation in the book “A Research Agenda for Civil Society” (Edward Elgar)

 "A Research Agenda for Civil Society"

CEsA researcher Ana Luisa Silva has published the article “NGOs and Innovation”, produced within the scope of her PhD thesis for the Program in Development Studies (PDED/ISEG). The article is part of chapter 10 of the book “A Research Agenda for Civil Society” (Edward Elgar). The publication maps a wide range of civil society research perspectives and provides a critical insight into the future of research in this area of knowledge, taking into account the domestic outcomes of major geopolitical changes and the increasing shift towards authoritarian and populist systems of governance.

The book will be presented in an online event on November 8, 2022, at 3pm (Lisbon time) (click here for more information).
