title = "{\textquoteleft}Everything is Politics{\textquoteright}: Understanding the political dimensions of NGO legitimacy in conflict-affected and transitional contexts",
abstract = "This paper examines how national NGOs operating in conflict-affected or transitional regionsgenerate and maintain legitimacy. It considers the experience of NGOs in three such contexts –Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). The paper argues that existingaccounts of NGO legitimacy are unhelpful for understanding the dynamic and highly politicisedprocesses of NGO legitimation that can be observed in these contexts and argues that greaterattention should be paid to the contextual and political dimensions of NGO legitimation and delegitimation.",
