Abstract

This article builds on and contributes to the scholarship on social movements and the law by revealing the critical function of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in law and policy in neoliberal times. Building on frame theories in social movement literature, this essay uses the lens of NGO-produced advocacy for binational same-sex couples to consider more broadly the relationship between individual experience, subjectivity, and the discourses and practices employed by NGO actors. It offers an analysis of both how NGOs developed and utilized particular messaging strategies and rhetorical frames to discursively produce a normative image of their constituency, and how constituents navigated and made use of the framing strategies developed by NGOs in their own claims to state rights and recognition. This discussion thus highlights the potentials and the problematics of the NGO model in social movements' efforts toward legal and political change.

重新思考非政府组织:新自由主义、“非国家”行为体和美国的承认政治
本文通过揭示非政府组织(ngo)在新自由主义时代法律和政策中的关键作用,建立并促进了社会运动和法律的学术研究。本文以社会运动文献中的框架理论为基础,利用非政府组织倡导跨国同性伴侣的视角,更广泛地考虑个人经验、主观性与非政府组织行动者所采用的话语和实践之间的关系。它分析了非政府组织如何发展和利用特定的信息传递策略和修辞框架,以话语方式产生其选民的规范形象,以及选民如何在他们自己对国家权利和承认的主张中导航和利用非政府组织开发的框架策略。因此,这一讨论突出了非政府组织模式在社会运动中争取法律和政治变革的潜力和问题。
