CSOs, Parties, Government and Democracy Building in the DRC

In view of the double globalisation, geographical and thematic, as well as the consequent global stakes, the book analyses raises the question of how national CSOs can make themselves heard in the field of internal politics in their countries. More specifically, in relation to building democracy and the rule of law in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), how can national CSOs regain ownership of citizen action, knowing that the local democratic space is condemned to open up to numerous global actors, integration and international cooperation? What can be done to ensure that this so-called 'glocal' space does not become a place of predation by certain international organisations.
