Features: On the current international political stage, in addition to sovereign states and intergovernmental organizations, which are the traditional main players, non-governmental organizations have taken the lead, demanding a more prominent role. They are making a significant impact in various fields of international life. The author of this book employs a comparative research method, starting with an exploration of the historical origins and theoretical foundations of non-governmental organizations, and then analyzing their basic documents, purposes, principles, legal status, scope of authority, and voting procedures. By placing non-governmental organizations within the broader context of the evolution of the post-war international relations landscape, the book aims to identify their essential characteristics, their role in contemporary international relations, and the ways in which they influence international relations and domestic politics. The goal is to provide an objective and accurate evaluation of the subtle position and complex functions of non-governmental organizations in modern international relations.
