Abstract
Conventional nongovernmental organization (NGO) theory describes NGOs’ function within predetermined neoliberal frameworks – migration, social movements, and developmental sustainability. Yet other organizational theories establish that NGOs can, in fact, be placed in particular frameworks or models. Therefore, attributing this transformation in global society to an adjustment to changes made by other types of NGOs pursuit in expanding social and equal justice to local communities. These theoretical assumptions describe NGOs role as either tied to international industries or controlled by multinational corporations and states. However, emerging case study analysis of NGOs in Latin America (Guatemala) and the Caribbean (Barbados) shows that local NGOs are redefining strategies and methodologies through a network of transnational indigenous nongovernmental organizations (TINGOs).
